Randy Foye's Heart 

Post#1 » by Chocolate City Jordanaire » Mon Nov 7, 2016 8:54 am

ADK, move over!

Another former Wizard has a distinguishing physical feature. This season is gonna need trivia, comic relief, etc. This is amazingly true.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Foye

Foye was born with a condition called situs inversusĀ that caused him to be born with his organs reversed, meaning his heart is on the right side of his body and his liver is on the left.


Due to his inverted organs, Foye featured on a 2015 BBC series called Countdown to Life explaining how his condition was caused. The show stated Foye was lucky to be alive due to the fact that his organs are a perfect mirror image of the normal system of human organs. Potentially only a few of his organs may have swapped, which could have caused severe disability or death.


After thinking about Foye/Curry today; I coincidently watched that segment of BBC program on PBS tonight, "9 Months that Made".

So does Foye have D- amino acids and L- sugars?

Who's to say he's got that stuff in backwards, and we have it in right?

We are! Send him away - he's eating into OUR resouces.

1. "MML, not to be confused with MMA...."

2. "MML, not to be confused with the year 2050; is associated with mortality. Killed a great baseball player. Made him dead, "gone, never to return" as my deceased great grandmother (Freddie Cunningham, 1890-1995) used to say when she spoke of those passed on. I'm guessing I will be dead as a doorknob by MML, not the ailment...."

Let's talk MML!

Monte, didn't MM get a transplant post liver failure? Seems to me IIRC cirrhosis didn't kill the slugger.

All jokes aside the man has healthy, biological daughters.

(God bless Foye and his family!)

If he ever says, "Live long and prosper", then I will think you're on to something.

Jim, I'm no nuclear microbiologist like you. I see D and L and I'm thinking... "D-League?"

Randy's organs are swapped, and Ernie's brain is swapped with a pigeon's.
