Stories about sexual activity abound and are often the source of considerable interest and speculation. These anecdotal accounts are rarely subjected to any serious scrutiny and yet may develop folklore proportions. It is concerning that many forensic practitioners are prepared to perpetuate similar myths behind a veneer of scientific practice. Practices such as impotence or virginity testing and the interpretation of penile measurements are lucrative endeavors that remain alive and well. Similarly, court evidence on topics such as the circumstances by which genital injuries were sustained, the relationship between pubertal staging and age or the interpretation of anal findings are often less than objective. These practices are unprofessional. Further, they have the potential to cause significant harm to many individuals and to undermine the standing of the criminal justice system.
Karagöz is the name of the Turkish shadow theater and in the same time the name of the principal hero: it means "black eye". This burlesque show was performed on great occasions, such as births, circumcisions, weddings, and also during the winter evenings and the month of Ramadan. The size of puppets, in camel hide, is generally 25/35 cm. Sketches are inspired by daily life in big anatolian cities and in Istanbul. In this play, Karagöz is both pharmacist and doctor, a job for which he is not at all qualified. Of course, the farce is embroidered around his extravagant speeches and acts when different people come in the pharmacy. We notice the importance of the French vocabulary.
