The lack of an audience drives me bonkers. Celebrating to no one is just awkward.

The set looks cool though. And I agree on cleaning up on the answers. They are either super easy or you wouldn't have a clue.

Even calling it Lou Gehrig's Disease seems less common now, replaced mostly by ALS. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people under 40 have never heard it referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
I can't think of an instance of the term Tommy John Surgery used outside of baseball.

I also agree on ALS, society has moved away from Lou Gehrig's disease, almost like it has away from the term Old Timer's Disease or Alzheimers.
