1. Hamster -- Animals
   Though small and often seen as harmless, the hamster is the most vicious animal on the planet second only to the koala. The hamster uses an ingenious method which goes largely undetected by those unaware of its vicious tendencies. The hamster uses its powers of hypnosis to hypnotize older siblings or parents of its owner to be cruel to him/her. The owner will then go to the hamster for comfort and will eventually willingly serve as a tool in the Bear World Order.
2. Gallbladder -- Abdomen
   The first step in laparoscopic gallbladder removal is the insertion into the abdomen of four trocars, narrow tube-like instruments that require only very small surgical incisions. Into one trocar, Dr. Ballantyne inserts a laparoscope, which is a telescopic videocamera that provides magnified and dramatically enhanced views of internal organs. Other surgical instruments are inserted through the other trocars.
3. Matt Kenseth -- Racing
   In 2002, Kenseth registered a series-best five victories but sub-par performances and a lack of consistency kept the championship out of reach. Kenseth’s crew won its second straight Unocal 76/Rockingham World Pit Crew Competition with another world record, conducting a full pit stop in 16.81 seconds.
4. Muscles -- Body
   In tetany, all of the nerve cells in the body are activated, which then stimulate the muscles. This reaction causes spasms or cramps throughout the body. The name tetany is derived from the effect of the tetanus toxin on the nerves. However, the name is now commonly applied to muscle cramping from other conditions, such as low blood levels of calcium and magnesium. Low calcium and low magnesium, which increase the activity of nerve tissue nonspecifically... can produce tetanic cramps. Often, such cramps are accompanied by evidence of hyperactivity of other nerve functions in addition to muscle stimulation.
5. Apes -- Humans
   Planet of the Apes - Highly evolved society of talking apes on the sci-fi adventure PLANET OF THE APES/CBS/1974. When a time-warping spaceship carrying astronauts Alan Virdon (Ron Harper) and Pete Burke (James Naughton) from the year 1988 landed on this futuristic landscape of A.D. 3085, a chimpanzee named Galen befriended and protected the astronauts from enslavement by his fellow creatures who saw "man" as an evil threat to their current world. He later fled with the earthmen after accidentally killing an ape leader who was trying to kill the astronauts. At this point the program became a futuristic version of THE FUGITIVE with a group of angry apes in hot pursuit espousing the sentiments "The only good human is a dead human." Galen (played by Roddy McDowall) spoke the English language and walked upright as did the rest of his simian kind (an atomic holocaust destroyed most of mankind but evolved the apes on planet Earth to a higher form of life). Other monkey character included Urko the ape (Mark Lenard), a military leader and Zaius (Booth Colman), an orangutan politician. The TV series is based on the novel Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle which spawned the motion picture Planet of the Apes (1968) starring Charlton Heston (on which the TV series is based), the sequels Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1969), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) as well as the animated Saturday morning cartoon RETURN TO THE PLANET OF THE APES/NBC/1975-76 and the remake motion picture Planet of the Apes (2001) starring Mark Wahlberg.
6. Gemini
   When problems arise, the first instinct of Moon in Gemini natives is to talk things out. Their tendency to analyze can give them the appearance of emotional detachment. In fact, Lunar Geminis may be especially comfortable talking about their feelings, but feeling their own feelings doesn't come as easily. Those that don't take time out to really emote and understand their own needs may end up baffling others. Feeling misunderstood is common for Moon in Gemini natives. The only real solution to the problem is learning to get in touch with their own feelings.
7. Bones
   As each Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycle declares its styling independence with exclusive components and inspired craftsmanship, the Cross Bones is a bold addition to an already free-spirited family. Many features of the Cross Bones and other Softails are reminiscent of restless riders of the past, whose defiant attitude resonates with those who march to their own beat in any generation.
8. Gallbladder -- Patients
   Gallbladder stones are a very common disorder and are usually asymptomatic. Some patients experience biliary colic, an intermittent and often severe pain in the epigastrium or right upper quadrant and at times between the scapula caused by temporary obstruction of the cystic duct with a gallstone. If the cystic duct obstruction persists, the gallbladder becomes inflamed, and the patient develops cholecystitis, an acute inflammation and infection of the gallbladder.
9. Kevin Lepage -- Teams
   Kevin Lepage got a ride with LJ Racing to drive in the NASCAR Winston Cup series in 1998. Although the team was unsponsored, Lepage still managed two 14th place finishes. Jack Roush took notice of Lepage and offered him a contract in June of 1998 to drive the #16 Primestar car. He earned two top 10 finishes that year and almost won the Rookie of the Year honors. Lepage did double duty that year driving for Doug Taylor's #40 Channellock team. Lepage finished the Busch series 14th in points even though he raced in only 24 of the 31 races that year.
10. Qur'an -- Muhammad Asad
    The Qur'an is the last scripture that has been revealed to mankind by the Lord Creator and Protector. It was through the last messenger, Muhammad (pbuh), that the world first heard of it. It certainly the Divine scripture that is to be accepted by all, up to the very last man. The term 'Qur'an' has the meanings of 'the recitation', or 'that which is to be recited' and of 'that which is recited.' Indeed, the Qur'an itself has employed the connotation 'the scripture that is recited' in connection with this term (13:31). Unlike the earlier scriptures, the Qur'an is never a compilation of legal pronouncements or code of laws (Taurat), or hymns (Zaboor) or a collection of Gospel of good news (Injeel). It is highly probable that the Qur'an has been named as the last scripture because each one of its words is to be repeatedly read by thousands upon thousands of its believers and is to be so etched into their hearts as to mould their very lives according to its guidelines. As for the actual reason, it is the Lord Who sent it Who knows the answer thereof.
