Before you run out and get your flu shot, you might want to think about who you're letting inject you. Where did these vaccines come from? How do we know what's in them? Whether they'll work? Whether they're serving some other purpose? Genetic markers. Biological or chemical testing. You never know.
I'm pretty turned off to getting mysterious shots, I'll take my chances getting sick.

In other news, I've heard about the recent occurrences of petrification. If you've got any information on them and wouldn't mind sharing it, I'd like to hear it.

Do we have any more information on the explosion the other day?

Really? Small indeed. Or maybe England just attracts the crackpots.

Not abberations, just unusually swift evolutionary changes. But yes, it would. I could spot the genetic markers for an evolved ability, but that would require a sample to begin with.

[call_me_spooky]

Could be. I bet you could get a grant to write a paper on it.

Small-scale single-generation evolution, as opposed to mutations with an environmental cause, you mean? Like--well, never mind. I can buy that. It's a fascinating subject, but probably not helpful for catching bad guys.

[orderonto]

I'm not sure of the cause, not yet. It could be environmental. I only know the rate and the markers, from study of the human genome.

Probably not helpful for catching bad guys, no. Although if you need me for any forensics work, public or private, I'm usually available.

I'd like to hear about your work some time, if you'd be willing. I specialize in crackpot theories.

I wish I could borrow people from this place and take them back to my own world, I bet I could scare up some interesting stuff... Ah, well. I'll keep you in mind, if we find anything.

[orderonto]

Any time you'd like. If it suits you, you could visit my apartment for curry. The roommate is a time traveler.

[call_me_spooky]

How could I turn down an invitation like that?
