Here be Hooahbears

As a quackulist, Dr. Galen is expected to engage in ongoing scientific research and to publish his findings.  Noted articles include,  “An observational study of the flying ability of Sus scrofa domesticus (which had to be stopped early when a pig fell on him).” and “A randomized double blind controlled trial on Gallus gallus domesticus ability to cross the road (which also had to be stopped early when he ran out of chickens).”  He is often helped in  his endeavors by his two research assistants Alpha and Beta.  As you can see, he is currently engaged in a study to see if bugs have eyelashes.

Hooahbears have developed their own brand of medicine, quackulism. Supposedly dating from before the time of Hippocrates, the practitioners or “quackulists”, have been among the Hooahbears for centuries. Quackulismis a complex mixture made up of western mainstream medicine, a dab of ayurveda and a pinch of herbalism. One of the foremost quackulists is Dr. Galen. Dr. Galen has written many scholarly articles which are rarely read but must be true since they are in one of the premier quackulism journals, The NEJQ. Here is a a nice photo of Dr. Galen preparing to do a featherization. Dr. Galen’s own area of interest is featherism, and he is considered the leading expert in the field of featherization. Perhaps he is the only expert.
