    Whenever I see pictures like this I always wonder where on the Earth it’s from.

    This looks to me like right above the capsule is the Nile River flowing down to Cairo and the delta and into the Mediterranean. And the larger body of water in the top left is the Red Sea. North is down and to the left.

    Anyone confirm or have other ideas?

    As a kid? Yes. I have a very strong gag reflex. The doctor using a tongue depressor would make me retch. I had trouble swallowing meat if it was tough or fatty. I would have to chew it for a very long time before I could swallow it. Fatty bacon I usually just had to give up and spit out.

    It took me until I was a teenager until I could swallow a pill. I practiced on swallowing blueberries.

    Now I have no problems, I can swallow a handful of pills and I’m a vegetarian.
