Nearly all colon cancers start as polyps, tiny grapelike projections that sprout on the inside of the large intestine.

I remember the bachelor real estate...
...toward me, holding a serrated knife in her hand. The alluring co-star of Girl, Interrupted has a lurid fascination with sharp metal objects--exotic daggers, tattoo needles, the works. She has even confessed to cutting her own skin in the past. But tonight she's in a more benign mood, so Jolie slinks past me and proceeds to carve up a steak delivered from room service...
