If you ever forget how metal the uterus is, remember that doctors used to think this thing could traipse around the body

Wow. As a man this shames me.

I've never been angered or flustered by my wandering testicles. Come on ladies, get it together.

This is outrageous but testicals do wander a little. Go into a hot space and the wander down a little. Go into a cold space they wander up. If they wander into your body see a doctor though. If they wander by spinning and get wrapped up in their veins see a doctor immediately!

I seem to remember reading that when trains came on the scene there was some concern that the high speeds might cause a woman's uterus to fly out of her body.

I mean, I do assume your comment is tongue-in-cheek, but sometimes a testicle pops into your body up to the prostate, and if you told teenage me that it's going on a tour around my body, I might've believed you.

Mainly because my only other explanation was that it hadn't popped into my body, but rather that it actually just popped.

I also stumbled upon this information a few months ago and wondered not only how someone could come up with this utterly ridiculous theory, but also why it led to those completely idiotic conclusions.

Control over women is the main reason of course, but the whole thing is so incredibly stupid, it's really astounding that anyone actually went with it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_womb

Artist discovers free will.

"the same is the case with the so-called womb or matrix of women; the animal within them is desirous of procreating children, and when remaining unfruitful long beyond its proper time, gets discontented and angry, and wandering in every direction through the body, closes up the passages of the breath, and, by obstructing respiration, drives them to extremity, causing all varieties of disease." - Plato, Timaeus
Picture of a womb with small little legs looking like two xenomorphs standing back to back.
"A contemporary artist's depiction of the wandering womb, anthropomorphized with a reptilian tail and a set of legs and arms. It is based on descriptions dating back to ancient times."

If my tongue was any further into my cheek I'd be able to bite down without touching it.
