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

...the ethics panel said they did not adequately account for how they would dispose of the research subjects.

The research subjects?

Bacteria

So, "flush down the toilet" isn't good enough? How about "expose to gamma rays and release into the wild"?

The research subjects?

Bacteria

I really want to know how they're disposing of bacteria. Cause if they flush it down the toilet, it could infect the life in the sewers, and that's where Movies of the Week come from.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't have access to the NYT archives, but that article did indeed report some k-razy overreaching by ethics panels.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that sort of question. It was too long ago for me to remember properly! I messed up my funny story.

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

So ita, do you feel relieved that it's over?

Happy birthday, Allyson!
