    And may all who suffer from any degree from kidney damage or disease benefit from the day!

    Kim....the viagra message so proudly and prominently displayed does not seem to fit with the purpose (or am I missing something?)

      Me either. I see the Pfizer logo as a sponser. Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

          Yes, I see that now. It wasn't there the first time. Looks like spam.

    Weird, I see it now too,But it wasn't there about 1/2 a dozen times I checked the page before.
    It DOES look like some spammer posted it though.

    Happy Kidney Day! Drink some water!

    As for spam, in most rants I use 'Viagra' as the spam that always gets through while the spam filters block legitimate business mail from bulk mailers. However Pfizer has the most-relentless-hundreds-of-people-are-doing-it-every-day SPAM.

    ...end of rant

    Kidneys are like the Internet: they're a series of tubes, vital to sustaining life.

    Thanks, Kim, for flushing out this important news item.

    There is an official day just for kidneys?

    Do we get this off? Will there be kidney day parades? What do you give as gifts?

    I didn't mean any disrespect, Kim, just trying to get a cheap laugh from the infamous "serious of tubes" remark from Senator Stevens.

    More seriously, I think it's interesting that in traditional Chinese medicine philosophy, the Kidney system is not just the organs that filter blood. They're also thought of the storage place for the life energy we're born with. They're also considered the main center of the body's capacity to overcome stress or infection.

    I wish you success in spreading the word about the importance of kidneys (from any system of medicine). If you'd like me to delete my silly post, I'll do so.

      No offense taken, my post was also trying to add some, albeit dry, humour along with you.

    Pfizer has the honor of doling out millions of doses of statin drugs every year and ruining the kidneys being thought of on 3/11 (among other organs).
    It is only right that they show some true motives on Kidney day.
