Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Perkins, there totally was a question I needed to ask you, but it's apparently the sort of question I can only remember when I'm in a meeting.
I'm sure it was terribly important and fascinating.
Lord, I need to go home.
Oh, on House: rabies shots aren't in the abdomen anymore, haven't been for some time now.
Belated Hi Kathy, since work came up again.

Did it involve pie?
I'm watching, but I'm about twenty minutes behind. Did you figure out what you needed to know?
Timelies all!
The con was fun. I need sleep, as usual.
Wait, wait! House in on tonight?
No, Brenda, I didn't. I missed the teenage girl subplot.
Trudy, she had given herself Korsakov's syndrome [link] causing short-term memory loss through malnutrition - so the reason she was giving different explanations was that her brain was grabbing at external stimuli to make up for what it didn't know. So the intern's polo logo became a tale of a riding accident, etc. Treatment was basically vitamins.
EVERY year, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awards prizes for the best papers presented at its annual conference. Last year's winner in the nuclear and future flight category went to a paper calling for experimental tests of an astonishing new type of engine. According to the paper, this hyperdrive motor would propel a craft through another dimension at enormous speeds. It could leave Earth at lunchtime and get to the moon in time for dinner. There's just one catch: the idea relies on an obscure and largely unrecognised kind of physics.
