Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

What is even happening?

I'm also not sure why the judge ruled that attempting to feed her by mouth was a no-go.

I'm not sure he did. I think what happened is that the Schindlers requested he order that she could be fed by mouth. He refused to give that order. In absence of that order, Mr. Schiavo was able to refuse food and water by mouth for her. I don't know why or how, except for the risk of aspiration, but even then, since removing her hydration and nutrition was going to kill her, I don't understand that, either.

I felt badly her priest wasn't allowed to give her communion on Easter.

Surgeons completed the operation by fitting a metal socket to Mr Nagle's head so he could be hooked up to a computer.

I felt badly her priest wasn't allowed to give her communion on Easter.

Didn't he? I had heard that she did take communion. (Wine on the tongue, at any rate.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I felt badly her priest wasn't allowed to give her communion on Easter.

Cindy, if you feel comfortable sharing, do you think there was a there there, wrt her person-ness. Enough to be part of communion, or even benefit from anything other than last rites?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I felt badly her priest wasn't allowed to give her communion on Easter.

I thought he did-ish. He gave her a drop of wine, but couldn't give her the wafer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What kind of socket? USB? FireWire? Fiber optic? Punch card reader?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Season 2 of Firefly, baby!

Neuromancer, baby!

Gotta say, I'd pick the first one.

Thrive to spite them

I'm confused about the claim that Terri didn't receive communion because on Easter there were reports that she'd recieved a drop of wine, but wasn't able to accept the piece of wafer.

There had been a report that Michael had said no, but later changed his mind. And it went exactly as you described it (according to reports).
