I don't know how in hell I missed this one, but thank heavens A Repository for Bottled Monsters alerted me to the "Uterine Plush Recall" over at I Heart Guts! Apparently the uterus "failed a pull test" and "the ovaries may be pulled off and become a choking hazard"! I do not think I am alone in saying eeeuuuuww!
I Heart Guts assures us that rest of their smiling fuzzy internal organs are perfectly safe for all ages, but if you are in possession of a smug, Thriller video-dancing, pink plush uterus with hazardous trachea-sized violet ovaries, please contact appropriate support personnel immediately. For all our sakes.

Well, we don't know because the necessary detailed information has not been released. I do not personally know the Caster Semenya story, medically or biologically speaking, but there has been a lot of discussion and apparently wild speculation on this, and I may have a thing or two to help clarify…
I've had my disagreements with Martin Cothran over the years. He's a bigoted man, proud of teaching logic at a private school, yet utterly dependent on logical fallacies in his actual argumentation. He wants creationism taught in public schools. He dislikes gay people and anyone else who…
Surgeons are experimenting with ways to use cryogenics to aid in surgery. If you can put someone in suspended animation, it would make the process of surgery much easier. Here is a description from Wired Magazine about such an experiment in a porcine test subject:

This is just hysterical!
A plush hysterical hysterectomy!
I don't care if it's child friendly, I totally want one!
Thankfully, the only plush organ we have is a bladder. Though it would probably not be much of a problem, since the one year old is pretty good about not actually putting things fully into his mouth. He's more of a licker than a biter.
I want the gall bladder!
Oh my.
Do they have a double-uterus variant? I'd get it for my Mom, who had two.
Snort, Guffaw....
How did your mom find this out, Jon??
Well, this may be the very first time in history that ovaries have been a "choking hazard." Generally, those little buggers are not high on the list of causes for potential asphyxiation.
"How did your mom find this out, Jon??"
I believe it was discovered when she had a hysterectomy, or possibly in the preparations for same.
As far as I know, my two siblings and I came from the same one. Then again, my brother looks different from my sister and I, so who knows.
Well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a backup . . .!
