An editorial comment about MS patients? Unlikely. Tony Hung wonders whether it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.deepjiveinterests.com/2007/08/02/ripping-off-copyrighted-content-its-just-cultural-man/">a cultural thing</a>, and Joey deVilla at Global Nerdy thinks it might have something to do with the kind of animation used in <a href="http://globalnerdy.com/2007/08/02/homer-simpson-x-ray-used-in-medical-article-in-chinese-news/">Asian instruction manuals</a>. I think the explanation is pretty simple: the image is number three when you do a Google <a href="http://images.google.ca/images?q=x-ray&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;oe=UTF-8&#038;client=firefox-a&#038;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&#038;um=1&#038;sa=N&#038;tab=wi">image search</a> for the term &#8220;X-ray.&#8221;</p>
