Architectural groups do this kind of thing all the time, I know people doing architecture at Uni level at the moment who are designing spaceships, but it's not because they think they'll actually be getting commissioned to do that by the time they graduate (or within their lifetimes at all). An extreme concept of this…

Does that work with a concept design still very much in the theoretical stage?

Well Gatiss' previous attempt at the same "The Pitch of Fear" was great (seriously worth a Google for that, it's not on Youtube) so although this'll be a teeensy bit more serious (and longer for that matter) I'm quite looking forward to it.

Like "Little Otik" only with more Disney "D'awwww..." and less Svankmajer "Arghhhh!"

Hell yes.

Just be thankful it wasn't the occasionally seen (and never ever unseen, dear god) unshelled Zoidberg. D:

The book I read referred to a placebo surgery "performed" on the knees (If not this study: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/07/020712075415.htm then one like it) in that case the only surgery was a few minor surface incisions, just enough – in conjunction with the doctors word – to convince the patient they…

Good sidenote, I love that thing, it's like a snood hoodie...a snoodie, if you pulled the drawstring up it'd be like having your head in a sack...I find this good for some reason.

Yup, colour has an effect as well, Prozac pills aren't blue and white just because it looks nice, the "calm" associations the colours have give them a placebo boost and actually help them work better. Similarly a friend of mine had to take antibiotics recently which were black and red because "GRR, hardcore infection…

I believe the same is true of medical placebos, patients respond much better to saline injections that to sugar pills because they feel it's a more dramatic intervention, and they respond better still to a surgical placebo.

..."previous Wolverine film"? No idea what you're on about.

:D

It was nice of Mrs Thomson to let him come to Billy's party, being well over a foot taller than any of the other children in the class usually made parents apprehensive about inviting Wxl!n into their homes. Well, that and the teeth, claws, secondary mouth in the abdomen, and the various cultural differences and…

In the original novel of "The Birds" it was Herring Gulls which were the first and biggest threat....THIS IS WHY! Daphne du Maurier knew.

Hello, Super-personal Super-healing Machine. What's the plan? "Well, even though I'm trained to only recognise male bodies, when asked to remove a foreign object from what should be a masculine anatomy I'm not going have any problem cutting into and removing something from INSIDE a female womb, which I'll then leave…

Good job you stopped with the head slapping before...

Hmm, I'm familier with both the "fuck" passage and then "belgium" passage from my U.K editions. Though I can't recall where the belguim bit actually turns up, but I could have sworn it was also in the original radio series.

Just FYI, this is what happens when that line from 2012 collides with a (well connected) comedian with a physics degree...

So in other words...
