Thank you, Jeff, for that useful alert. When I showed the photo
to my class on PowerPoint (for the purely educational purpose of
illustrating what an MRI is good for), I rotated it to a more
conventional orientation. I thought this had something to do with
MRI rules for displaying images. Now that I've read Drs.
Sabelis's account, I understand why it was published that way.
One question. Drs. Sabelis says this:
"Another cup of coffee and then I say "Jupp, shall we do
something..." Everyone comes into action: we look at, match, and
pee."
What does that mean? Is this the Dutch equivalent of foreplay?
