So far, I have resisted the temptation to make this announcement over my hospital’s PA system. “Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard - report to Neurosurgery _on the double!_” “Woob-woob-woob-woob-woob-woob-woob!!!”

\*\* Confirmation of exoplanet life  
Is this happening to anyone else with a new Samsung Galaxy S4?\*\*

To be fair, if you buy a phone called the “Galaxy” you should expect to get spam calls from other solar systems.

I was just going to suggest getting out the laser to make dinner, when in she walked with a bunch of bottles and flasks.

With a big smile, she announced, “It’s beef night tonight! You’ve been working so hard on the transdimensional portal, I thought we could have a bit of a rest and build a couple of burgers.”

“Awesome! Have we got any Mœbius bacon strips?”

“No, we’re all out of pork. But I do have the latest low-chirality beef precursors…”
