My mother has been a nurse for 35+ years. She has quite a few stories about objects being pulled out of people that don't belong.

One time a bum had a spider nest built in his ear. That's freaky.

One of Kahn's persuasive methods in mind control.

I was talking some SciFi science with my brother the other day. We came to the conclusion that the cold would kill you first; if you somehow found yourself in the silent vacuum of space.

We wagered that you would instinctivly try to breath once exposed to said vacuum, and that would freeze your lungs; shattering them. By that time the outer cold would have placed you into hypothermia and you would pass out.

And no one would hear you scream (or attempt to, sound doesn't travel in space.)

all true!
too bad about the sound thing though. Wasted many
years in theatres listening to explosions of many
a fine spacecraft.

Yeah, but at about 29 seconds in space, you'd be rescued by a ship that has an Infinite Improbability drive . . .

LOL

I like Dr Who as well. It was interesting to see how many different ways they could tell the same story:

1. Arrive in strange world

2. Get captured by group A. Learn their mysterious dilemna, while being blamed for it.

3. Escape from Group A, Girl gets captured by Group B, who is at war with group A, and want Dr. to help them fight them.

4. Escape from Group B. Figure out what caused the dfilemna that led to the war in the first place.

5. Make peace between two groups. Leave in Tardis. Repeat next week in different world.
