Bartonella henselae is a proteobacterium that can cause bacteremia, endocarditis, bacillary angiomatosis, and peliosis hepatis. It is also the causative agent of cat-scratch disease (Bartonellosis) which, as the name suggests, occurs after a cat bite or scratch. The disease is characterized by lymphadenopathy (swelling of the lymph nodes) and fever.

Styx

The River Styx (Greek: Στύξ, Stux, also meaning "hate" and "detestation") was a river in Greek mythology which formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld, Hades. It circles the Underworld nine times. The rivers Styx, Phlegethon, Acheron, and Cocytus all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh. If happen to have a few cents when you visit, you could even get a ride from Charon The ferryman.

Styx is also a band from Chicago.
Thumbs up!

Ram Jam

If you didn't look like a pedophile in the 70s, you weren't cool.

Queen

Freddie Mercury was a vocal legend during his time. His voice is said to have covered a four-octave range. According to Wikipedia, the "four or five-octave range" voice claim is a technically a misnomer. I've since edited this statement and flagged it is band geek nonsense. A much better word for Freedie's vocal range is "prepubescent."

PHISH

From 2004 to 2009 PHISH was broken up. It was the only time in my life when I had the free time and was old enough to go to their shows. I did however manage to get to one of their "last" shows while I was in high school and it was amazing. If you haven't been to a phish show or at least smelled a hippie you don't know what you are missing. Going to a phish concert is like going to a all you can eat/ free love fest/ day long tail gate / pre game for an even bigger party. Aside from the rank smell of petrulli oil and a few "college know-it-all" hippies, it was by far one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I highly recommend you find your way to a show.

Offspring

If this song doesn't remind you of sitting in your parents basement and playing Magic The Gather on a Saturday night, then you were probably not very cool in high school...
