In the advent of Google Plus, I’ve been reconnecting with old friends – mostly friends from high school and college that I’d lost touch with over the years. The result is that I receive a daily dose of the most eclectic posts you could imagine, from the epic destruction of a video game boss to...
The Origin of Scrubs
We know that lab coats were adopted from scientists, but what is the origin of scrubs?
