2. Bloodthirsty sea pirates who ravaged northern Europe beginning in the 9th century.
Hagar's note: The first definition is much preferred; the second is used only by malcontents, the envious, and disgruntled owners of waterfront property.
NSFW. Gout.

Gout is one of those diseases I'll read up on every few years but I'm never quite certain how to avoid getting it.
Don't eat tons of meat and/or develop kidney disease?
What is it that's actually being pulled out? Is it just a large agglomeration of uric acid crystals and associated other crap?
If money was a chicken, would the chicken be evil?
I'm sure there's lots of interesting (to somebody) processes going on there involving seed crystals and concentration gradients between blood/interstitial fluid that cause things like that to form.
But I'd rather just not think about it.
The glass ones are more practical though, because the image you see on them is (or can be) focused at infinity, that means that you don't need to change your focus to look at the info. If you just stick a transparent OLED display in front of the windshield it'd be out of focus most of the time.
It's a mix of blood concentration levels of uric acid getting so high it crystallizes but you only notice it on the extremities because that's where your blood temperature drops the most and allows the crystals to collect and form. I have to wonder what kind of lifestyle leads to having so much unprocessed piss in your blood that it collects in your foot, though.
