My good friend, Donegan Smith, came by my office the other day with this noteworthy news item from The Guardian (London):
"A small chapel at Murtosa, in northern Portugal, is the only Roman Catholic church where it is acceptable to drop your trousers and show your bum. The reason? The local saint, Goncalo--a colorful 13th century priest--has a reputation for curing hemorrhoids. All you have to do is show him the affected region, say a prayer and, according to locals, the pains disappear. Now, here's a saint who gets to the bottom of things."
