#5This is the one that causes me to finally commit an entire weekend to getting off Google.

#6what happened to the guy was awful but in general, don't ever store medical correspondence on Google cloud or send it over email or messengers.

#10Shit, this gave me pause.
My dog has crypto* and my vet asked me to send him pics at various states of arousal so I have numerous pics of dog junk on my phone.
* Cryptorchidism is the medical term that refers to the failure of one or both testicles (testes) to descend into the scrotum.
