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.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh, on House: rabies shots aren't in the abdomen anymore, haven't been for some time now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Belated Hi Kathy, since work came up again.
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.

Did it involve pie?

I'm watching, but I'm about twenty minutes behind. Did you figure out what you needed to know?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.
