Inappropriate

So D-Rock and I are studying endocrinology today and part of tomorrow. As we were studying the thyroid, the subject of goitrogens came up. Goitrogens are substances that can suppress the thyroid and create goiters. As I scanned down the list, one of the vegetables stood out. That vegetable: rapeseed. Not cool, botanists. Not cool.

But don't worry, the name is totally innocent. It's derived from the Old English word for "turnip" - rapum.

You can't make this stuff up.

In other news, D-Rock has a warrant in England out for his arrest. The charge: turnip.
