OLD SPOILERS 'Crystal Skull'
























































Obviously they get into the whole out of phase thing, which has the problem of not falling through the floor (mentioned in 'Wormhole X-Treme'), being able to breathe, being able to see without leaving red dots where the retinas are, being able to hear.

More importantly was the nintendo business. Carter accurately mentioned that nintendos are difficult to detect because they pass through everything. The fact that they can detect them is a sign of the extraordinary properties of the pyramid, which seems to slow them down and make them more detectable. Now, here comes the inconsistency. Because the nintendos have been slowed down, they can be very harmful- almost as harmful being near to an unshielded nuclear reactor. This seems extreme, but may be consistent. However, because nintendos pass through everything, there is no shielding. But if the pyramid makes the nintendos so ionising, why can't they be attenuated by a radiation suit or similar equipment?

Usually, if you can capture a teenager, the nintendos are sitting by... however, this is a temporary state, and they are liable to disappear when you aren't looking.

I hope this is a case of a spell checker gone insane, or maybe the BA having a joke at Glom's expense with the "bad word filter".

Lets find out.

Neutrino

Not Nintendo, Neutrino. Just because Jack calls them Nintendo's doesn't mean thats what their name really is. You should know by now that Jack doesn't know a quantum singularity from a hole in the ground ;P

Blast you, I came up with something slightly more witty for that post, changed it, and you quoted me while I was changing it! Curses! Foiled again!

Oh, I did. Check my first post there and compare it to the one you have quoted. Last line is differant.

Personally, I've got Maksutov as winning the joke contest so far, with his Cube-related punning.
