Do Doctors View Women as Pre-Pregnant? (NYT) →
from comments:
When I was in my very early 20s, I went to my OB/GYN to confirm a suspected pregnancy. (This was in the days before OTC pregnancy tests were available.) He told me I was definitely not pregnant.

all qi-ed up
Until March 2006 and the release of the OWL2, which for the first time included QI as an acceptable word, an important strategy was to memorize the words which have a Q but no U, in case they had a Q on their rack without a U. The addition of QI has made the U-less Q words less important, since the probability that a player will have an unplayable Q has been significantly reduced.
