Spleen, stomach for bananas



Did you know that Google translates Chinese characters? For instance, the first result when you search for "五脏六腑" (five zang six fu) is tcmmedicine.net (http://www.tcmedicine.net/ylyd/11.htm), which has a very basic introduction to the five zang and six fu organs. Click on the "translate this page" option and this is what you get:

Revealing is the human offal call the shopping strip. Heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, kidneys, called five internal organs; Small intestine, gall bladder, stomach, intestine, bladder, Sanjiao named Liu Fu. Sam is the master of human life activities. There are blood and liver storage regulator output functions. Individual nutritional substances digestion, absorption and transport body functions. Lungs "of breathing, and the main gas" kidney "Tibet smart", "Health marrow," "the bone" function. Small intestine is the primary function of receiving food, respectively From Clear to Cloudy. Guts secretion bile and help to digest food. Stomach by the Namibian Food and nutrition will be exported via reduced to the dependent body. Intestine function is transmitting dregs of things, from in vitro through the anus. Bladder urine mainly storage and disposal. San Jiao is not an independent organ main, but by traditional sectors, and is divided into three functional areas : heart, lungs, to focus, spleen, stomach for bananas, liver, kidneys, large small intestine, bladder for the next focus.

So... there are still some kinks to be worked out... in the meantime, all we can do is wonder who Sam is and why he is the master of human life activities...
