Do NOT show him that room when he grows up Squirrel. He's gonna need a LOT of therapy to get over being conceived in the 'Spidey' room :lol: :thumb:

Most of these have already made an appearence somewhere on this site but here is some of my statue collection. (Mermaids are property of the little lady)

We are in the process of making the back room a sort of "Man Cave" but this is where they are now.

No . . . The book is vintage and Pearl jam fashioned their CD cover after it:

http://www.edwardwillett.com/Columns/vitalogy.htm


Vitalogy

"In this age of education and progress, the Science of Health is no longer the exclusive possession of a profession, but is made an open book for those who have the wisdom to learn."

That's a very modern-sounding statement, isn't it? But it's not referring to the Web. In fact, it's from the preface to a book published in 1899, a book that attempted to contain within its 1000-plus pages "the wisdom and experience, the best results of years of practical observation, of prominent and enlightened physicians, upon the simplest and most effectual methods of promoting health, overcoming disease and prolonging life."


Vitalogy remained popular until the Second World War, when advancing medical knowledge rendered it obsolete. Its more recent claim to fame is as the inspiration for a 1994 album by Pearl Jam--the CD cover even reproduced the cover of the book.

Today, Vitalogy is a fascinating record of just how far medical knowledge has come in 100 years--and a sobering reminder of just how foolish some of what we believe may look a hundred years from now.
