PatAll kidding aside, for myself, I actually thought about that.* I'm
going into the hospital today for an ICD implant (up to 700 volts I
understand).* It is said that one's lover can feel it (the device!) go
off (something akin to a tingle ,it is said)* Every cloud has a silver
lining y'know, and testing on that* particular rumour will resume with
vigorous and firm resolve after I get out, (hopefully tmmrw)** Cap'n

Well, good luck... I'd have slaughtered a chicken first and had a look
at its innards just to be on the safe side, but that's just me.
If the heart had a lightning bolt shaped marking on it, then either the
operation is going to be a big success or Lord Valdemort had taken on
yet another cunning disguise, and you thwarted his plans.
If it helps, when quizzed on whether you would survive the operation,
The Talking Magic 8 Ball replied: "It is so."
When asked if the Shuttle would be lost during tonight's launch it
replied: "My answer is probably not."...but when asked if the Shuttle
would be lost sometime during this entire mission its reply was: "It is
definitely possible."
I still think that it would be best if Lovell were to cast the Silver
Buffalo into the sea, or at least keep it in a aquarium till the
mission is completed.
The real eye-opener though was its reply regarding the SpaceX launch;
when asked: "Will today's SpaceX launch succeed?", it replied: "You must
be joking."
I don't think even casting Elon Musk into the sea is going to help in
that case. ;-)

Okay, _Voldemort_.
I don't want to get jumped by a bunch of Harry Potter fans.
Boy, but that guy is hard to keep dead. :-)

Do _not_ bring the wooden horse that is the Shuttle into the city that
is the ISS, I'm warning you.
(Meanwhile, back in the cargo bay, the Al-Qaeda agents readied
themselves) :-)

The Ides Of July have come, but not yet gone... and we all remember who
this month is named for.
It is rumored that a lion was seen near the launch pad last night with a
dead bird in its mouth, and that the shade of Wernher von Braun did
appear, wreathed in blue fire as he leaked liquid hydrogen from many wounds.
Beware, beware! ;-)

CALPURNIA
I told him, 'Julie! Don't go! It's the Ides of March, already!' but would he listen?
