This ray’s untested, it’s dangerous …
If Dave got shot, he’d make a big fuss!
I told you not to touch, and I’m sure you heard,
But you’ll be back, ’cause I know you’re such a nerd!

It’s Chekhov’s Gun!
It’s a plot device!
Chekhov’s Gun!
Now I’ve told you twice!
Helen’s having fun
With her Chekhov’s Gun!

I think it’s a sure sign of Artie’s superintelligence that he has never been seen in a corner, frantically scrabbling.

We always had three gerbils of different colours for the purposes of avoiding doppelg?ngerism, though I now think that once you know them well, you can tell them apart.
