My humour
You know, it's interesting how much of this is true:
 |
| Which Humor Troubles the Disposition of YOUR Body? |
Your humor is: PHLEGM
Your personality is: phlegmatic
Your season is: winter
Your element is: water
Your qualities are: cold and moist
Your color is: white
Your organ is: the brain
Your lunar phase is: the new moon
Your opposing humor is: yellow bile
A phlegmatic personality is sluggish and dull, pale of complexion and cowardly of disposition.
This potentially dangerous imbalance can be treated with warming, drying foods and poultices to counteract the wetness. For instance, poisonous mushrooms are cold and must be treated by eating a hot substance, such as toasted garlic.
Those with an excess of phlegmatic humour should avoid salty foods and concentrate on hot and dry foods, like citrus fruit and dry French wines.
Black Hellebore, which is known for its laxative properties, purges lower tracts of phlegm and choleric humours.
Pituita, or phlegm is a cold and moist humour, begtotten of the colder parts of the chylus (or white juice coming out of the meat digested in the stomach) in the liver. His office is to nourish and moisten the members of the body.

Posted by: mary at March 15, 2003 at 07:58 AMThat was a weird quiz. I could not answer any of the questions. (shy and docile my a$$)

Posted by: Andrea Harris at March 15, 2003 at 10:17 AMIt told me that I am black bile, that my personality is lazy, melancholic, gluttonous, and sentimental, that my color is black, and my organ is the spleen.
That's terrifyingly accurate.
I've got your spleen, Andrea! "Not everyone is cut out to be...Spleen." --- Over the Hedge.

Posted by: Matt McIrvin at March 15, 2003 at 04:58 PMIt recommends that you should drink "dry French wines". Mais non! Eschew the weasely Europeaser wines. Why not try a good strong Australian ally wine instead?
Posted by: Stefan Sharkansky at March 15, 2003 at 07:51 PMIt also says Andrea is cowardly. Now I know this quiz is all wrong.
Posted by: Kevin McGehee at March 15, 2003 at 08:00 PMI answered the one or two questions that applied, and it told me I was full of semen.
My own, I hope.
Posted by: Steve H. at March 15, 2003 at 08:35 PMI'm afflicted with black bile. Hmmm. I see that it recommends treating my sore ankles with Raw Weasel Meat. Now if I can just get Chirac to pay me a visit . . .
