	Lovecraft Country: Interesting Things
		The flying polyps, archenemies of the Yithians and the eventual destroyers of their abandoned host bodies, are if anything even more alien, and possibly not even native to this universe.
		Physically, a flying polyp is an ox-sized mass of pulpy flesh with randomly-placed gibbering maws and short tentacles, which changes shape in a horrible oozing fashion and suffers monstrous lapses of visibility, but is always detectable by an unearthly piping.
		Flying polyps have great and peculiar power over winds, and often hunt with winds that suck their prey upwind directly into the polyp's slimy clutches.

	Virtual colonoscopy: Is it ready for the real world?
		Although these polyps are benign, almost all colon cancers arise from them, so finding and removing them is a way to prevent colon cancer.
		In this study, the virtual colonoscopies missed two of eight cancers and also detected fewer polyps — some of which were of the type that can become cancerous.
		Virtual colonoscopy, though, is purely diagnostic, so if a polyp is discovered you still need a separate — and it’s still endoscopic — procedure to have it removed.

	Great Race of Yith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They escaped the destruction of their home planet by transferring their minds to the bodies of a species native to the Earth in the far distant past.
		They lived on this planet for 200 million years or so, in fierce competition with the flying polyps, until this enemy finally destroyed their civilization near the close of the Cretaceous era (about 50 million years ago).
		One of the factors involved may have been the fact that the flying polyps are completely gone by this point in time.

	Super Mario Bros. 3 Review
		Although flying had been used in videogames before (such as Monster Party), Mario 3 is one of the first games that I know of to utilize it in a truly innovative way.
		With Bowser being the only exception (who, by the way, isn’t really that tough, but the fight is creative), most of the bosses are beaten the exact same way, and there are very little variations in their attack patterns.
		Even what nuances there are, such as Boom-Booms that sprout wings to fly, Koopalings that shake the floor to stun Mario, and a Koopaling who shoots bouncing rings around the room, are easily overcome just by slightly altering the same pattern you’ve always used.

		The polyp's general behaviour is to advance quickly towards the player until it reaches optimum distance for its windblast.
		However, during the chaos of polyp combat, it is not uncommon for the player to stumble closer to a polyp, sometimes being surprised when it decloaks at point blank range.
		The biggest difference between polyps and other monsters during combat is their ability to rapidly outflank the player through a combination of very fast strafing and invisibility.

		Isolated barosinusitis in a previously healthy individual most commonly is due to flying or diving with acute URTI or sinusitis.
		If flying, return (usually climb) to the altitude at which symptoms first started, use topical decongestants if available, and start a slow descent as symptoms allow.

		Nagas are said to abduct and interbreed with human beings, and this interbreeding has led to a wide variety of forms, ranging from completely reptilian to nearly human in appearance.
		Legends say they fly disk-shaped aerial craft called "vimana." These craft are described at length in many ancient Vedic texts, including the Bhagivad-gita and the Ramayana.
		It's beginning to look as if the Grey facade was inspired by Nagas and their flying saucers, or Serpent People were working for Mi-Go and using Mi-Go equipment.

		When not aggravating people on the Revoker's explicit instruction they arbitrate disputes between the Tulips and the Polyps; no hostilities have broken out since they took on the jobs as no one dares disagree with their edicts (which are usually about the need for both species to get together and dance for a while).

		Obviously, there is some circumstance that the Shan's hosts occasionally encounter in bathtubs, which damages the Shan so severely they must flee their hosts' bodies, and leaves them too feeble to fly or even climb out without aid.
