Spleen!

Just to get [livejournal.com profile] robinbloke's and [livejournal.com profile] razornet's attention.

No wonder they like the word so much. In history, the spleen was thought of being the centre for melancholy in the human body.
Bloody goths. ;oP

Was a question on Mastermind (http://www.bbc.co.uk/mastermind) just now.

The wikipedia has it as well under Origins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spleen).

Hmm. Maybe mine's enlarged. I'll put it on the list of "bits that really ought to have something done about them", but it's a long way down...

In the meantime: spleen! Spleen spleen spleen...
