Shouldn't this text be a subheading under spleen until it becomes more complete? Alex.tan 15:21, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure. It's beyond stub level and having it separate might encourage people to edit it more than they would if it was already part of a longer article. On the other hand, having it as part of spleen does make that article better. Whatever is done to this should probably be done to Tonsillectomy as well. Angela . 02:43, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)

I don't think so. After all, tonsillectomy is larger than tonsils. 71.103.38.192 06:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References in popular culture

In science-fiction comic spoofs (brewster rockit for one, at least) a character yells, "Aaaah! My spleen!" when gutted by aliens. Should this be included in the article? 71.103.38.192 06:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
