This is the week of the knee.
First, Pirkko neds some sympathy.
Second, I just discovered last night (thanks to the girls, of course) that if you straighten your leg fully without engaging your knee at all you can manually wiggle your knee-cap around. The degree to which people can "squish" their knee-cap around will vary somewhat, and I found the whole thing to be quite unsettling. I knew that the patella was a floating joint, of course, but I didn't realize to what degree this was true. Steph asked how I could get all the way to 38 and not know this, and it's a good question to which I have no answer. It's kind of cool and creepy all at the same time.
