    This little arc was great fun! I never knew Boody had such an interest in medicine–or at least in innards!

    @GEE1A, it’s over until they catch Boody and go looking to see if he has any kidney stones…

    I like the “bed rest” Thor is on–horizontal flight would be lots easier and smoother than walking. But I guess you’ve got to be a god for it to work. [sigh]

    I wonder if I can get “Guts and You” on Amazon?

    Doesnt coal=carbon? Not trying to be picky here. I just want to make some money of my own. I mean if I have to have kidney stones I may as well get something for it.

    There are several forms of pure carbon: diamond, graphite, buckyballs (soot). And they keep seeming to come up with new ones. Most recent is nanotubes and sheets of carbon atoms. Coal is mostly carbon, but has other elements mixed in. Clear? (Only diamond is clear, to be precise.)

    Justin, i sent email last year about worm cheese. I’m throwing this in to stir the pot: Take a look at the Kalavalla, the Finnish national myth. One of the heroes is a fellow named Vainomoinen. His talent, other that being a barbarian hero, is ‘singinging his enemies into the ground.’ Another is Ukko, a weather god along the lines of Thor. You might find an interesting story in there. An interesting aside with another literature hero is that ‘Hiawatha’ was written to mimic the rhyme, meter and cadence of the Kalvalla. (on the shores of Gitcheegoome…)
