Just be glad it's not vials full of communicable disease germs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That really pisses me off. The paper cranes are for something else entirely. I really don't like the usage in a fannish way.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Or brains, although I suspect these people would have a hard time coming up with one amongst themselves.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh right! I may have read about that.

So was the author of the article confused?

Or are you putting me on?

I'm totally making a joke. About the Prison Break part.

I think I forgot the 1000 cranes thing actually happened on Heroes. Who was the character? Was it Hiro?

Yeah, Hiro did it for Charlie.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I imagine Liese is referring to the story of Sadako and the thousand origami cranes. She was a teenager in Japan who developed leukemia from the radiation poisoning after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She started folding paper cranes because of the old Japanese saying about thousand cranes = granting of a wish, and she desperately wanted to get well. She died before she completed the thousand and her friends did the rest. [link]

Our wings are not tired.

I was unfamiliar with the story of Sadako Sasaki. (not that I was intending to send origami to the Heroes bigwigs or anything) I will now look at paper cranes in a new light.
