The Mad American Wrote:One of the cliches that has always kind of stuck in my craw is the Coroner/Medical examiner eating thing. In a ton of movies and TV shows if there is a scene were someone needs to visit the Coroner/ME to get information about a particularly gruesome death, the Coroner/ME munching on some food as he/she deals with this nasty corpse is really over done. Not only is this stupid but if they are doing an examination for legal or medical purposes the presence of food in the area has the potential to contaminate the evidence/corpse.

Peter Wrote:Sorry to upset any Star Wars fans (I am a bit of one myself) but how about spaceships that turn like F15 fighters. Think about it, no air to push against control surfaces, even if you turn round by attitude jets youre going to keep going in the same direction. Makes for better films though. Wish I hadn't mentioned it really.....Similarly, why do space ships always align themselves on the same plane?.... in other words, the same relative "up"

Annice Burdeos Wrote:Isn't supposed to be equal opportunity access?I agree with Sam on this one. I don't think reporters of either gender should be allowed in locker rooms of players of either gender. Period. Use a press room.
fpw Wrote:Well...the part about the contamination might be true, and might not.
But I remember my first look at my medical school cadaver...The pale flesh, the formaldehyde stink...almost hurled. A month later I was sipping a coke and munching Cheetos as I dissected.
We're an amazingly adaptable species. We can get used to just about anything.

The main plot twist (and how they caught the bad guy) was because he had a bruise around one eye where the "recoil" of the weapon came back and punched him in the face.
