Subject: Emperor and Pompeii

Marel asked:

>Also, the emperor Vespasian, who ruled for the last ten years of Lucius' mortal
life, died in the year of his conversion. Does anyone know if it was before
or after?

According to the Cambridge Encyclopedia (yes, I _am_ a librarian and trained
to cite sources; how did you guess? <g>), Titus was emperor at the time of
Pompeii, so his father, Vespasian, had died before the erruption.

<sigh> I _wish_ I hadn't had to rule out print crossovers on Forkni-l.
Lucius as a mortal is in exactly the same time frame as Lindsey Davies'
wonderful Falco series of Roman detective novels. If only they could meet

I tend to agree.  In C&C we see a reversal of that relationship where
Schanke is playing the dominant personality.  Remember Nick's puzzled look
when Schanke comes through the sliding door into Nick's apartment and starts
firing questions and orders at him?

Nick is definately the dominant personality, although he is sometimes
reminded (as in Partners of the Month) that Schanke has worth and can
contribute to the partnership, too.  LaCroix would liken Nick's leadership
to the vampire's natural superiority over mortals.  But I think that Nick
also has the assumption of leadership in him from his childhood as a member
of the landed class.

As I rewatch (and rewatch and rewatch <g>) the first and second season
shows, I appreciate more and more what Schanke brought to the partnership.
Whereas Nick made intuitive leaps, based on 800 years of insight, to solve
the case, Schanke more often than not used good 'ole police work.  And he
really wasn't far behind Nick in solving the case.

Hmmm.... I seem to be turning into a FoD! <bg>

Subject: MEP2 Quote List

We did it again!

August 17-20, a bunch of FK fans congregated in Austin, TX for MEP2: Spontaneous
Evil, also known as Maximum Evil. The attendees included: Texas Cousin Jules,
Gail H., Pat L., Susan P., Libby, Caren, Third Cousin Patt, Shele, NunkMommy
Annie and me.

Among our activities, we watched the large bat population in Austin take off at
sunset, had a party in honor of Jules (and she and Susan received free copies of
a customized version of FK-opoly. Considering the grief around here lately, maybe
it should be The Game We Do Not Have), went to see Russell Crowe's band 30 Odd
Foot Of Grunts in concert, toured the Innerspace Caverns, watched the first Nigel-
episode of LEXX (well, Jules, Gail and I kind of hid through that part), went to a
show at Esther's Follies and did not start a fight at a dueling piano bar on Sixth
Street.

What follows are the quotes I managed to scribe in my little brown book. It's by
no means complete, since it's skewed by what I was privy to. Likewise, I forgot
stuff, or I <waves at Shele> didn't even notice.

NOTE: THERE ARE SOME LEXX SPOILERS.

Sure, there are four-way chess games.  Two ways is a flat board, right? And
three-D chess I first saw in Star Trek with Captain Kirk, but now are more

<snip> What would have happened if [Vachon] had been unable to find the

We know Nick regenerated his whole face, so I think we can assume that
other body parts would be regenerated (as long as there was no
de-cap-i-ta-tion). Otherwise ancient vampires would get to look pretty
messed up... the "Death Becomes Her" scenario.

Perhaps that was the reason he bothered to retrieve it. Don't want a
forensic team examining vampire body parts -- or noticing what happens
when the sun hits one.

And maybe it takes less energy to bind the old hand back on than to grow
an entirely new one.

At the beginning of the 3rd season ep where Tracy is transferred to
Corporate Crime  (Strings?), she and Nick are in the Caddy and Tracy is
giving him a hard time about doing all his paperwork.  so that might be one
place.

It also seems to me that there are a couple of other examples, but I can't

There was one scene that five people missed a major boo boo - I had Nick

   It wouldn't be as cool as the cadillac, but you almost have the
perfect vampire mobile.
        The ideal vehicle in many regards would be a van.  Preferably a
large conversion van.  Appointed with a bed, TV, stereo,
refridgerator.  And heavy blinds.
        If daylight threatens, just find a safe place to park for the day,
draw the blinds, crack open a chilled bottle and settle back to
watch Dark Shadow reruns until dusk.

        Much more comfortable than a Caddy's trunk.

Ewww!!!  The one that crawled around and attacked people?  I remember that
all too well.  Of course, if it could crawl to him, Vachon wouldn't have had
to dig around in the body parts for his hand.  You know, I wonder what would
have happened had he chosen the wrong hand from the pile?  Would it have
simply refused to reattach?  Or would the hand reattach and retain the
characteristics of its previous owner?  There's a fanfic in this somewhere,
I'm sure.  <G>

Newts can regrow limbs, and humans somtimes regrow the severed finger- and
toe-tips, so regeneration is not at all a physical impossibility. I feel
that Vachon could have regenerated the hand, but it would have taken much
longer to grow a new hand than to re-attach the original one. It takes 18
years to grow a adult human hand; if vampires heal 100X faster than humans,
that would translate to about 2 months. On the other hand, regenerating the
missing bone & tissue to rejoin hand to arm would take a much shorter time,
making the effort to find & re-attach the hand well worth Vachon's effort.
Why was the wound still open? Because the hand hadn't been destroyed, which
also explains why the hand didn't disintegrate--it would only do that if
Vachon had been killed. They were still psychically connected, kinda like
the bond between vampires, only much more so. Maybe Vachon HAD to get the
hand, since one wouldn't regrow untill the old one was either destroyed or
reattached. Pass the gjetost, please. No? Gouda will be fine, then.

Note from the real world: I just read about a drug that has been developed
to treat "non-union" fractures, where a patient has broken a bone and a gap
is left between the two pieces, so they don't fuse and heal properly. The
new drug, which may be approved for sale by the end of 2000,  stimulates
new bone to grow across the gap and fuse the two pieces-- a big
improvement, since the condition often led to amputation. The researchers
feel that another five years of R&D may well lead to a treatment that will
regrow human limbs.

Absolutely! Although now I have the mental image of Nick tooling around in a van
equipped with shag carpeting, a waterbed, and a really good stereo system -- which
would have undoubtedly made him the undisputed Make-Out King of the 96th precinct,
and the envy of all the bachelor officers. <g>

I wonder if he'd add a custom paint job and that bumper sticker -- "If this

Anyone else just have a flashback of the evil cursed hand from "Dark
Shadows"?

I keep hearing things about pins and plates and other nonorganic structural
materials being used to treat highly complicated fractures and make the
limbs as useable as befor the injury... Could someone here who's in the
field of medicine explain to me (offlist, since we're headed off-topic) why
that might not work in the condition Ligeia's reporting?

Thanks :)

And tell me,. did they harvest the componenets of this new drug from Vachon?

Subject: A present for the Immortal Beloveds : A white rosebud with a peach
         kicker

All,
Found this short piece  in a book of love poems and thought of LC:

A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
Oh, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud,
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

by John Boyle O'Reilly 1844-90

Boy, according to this thinking, peaches have a flush of desire on large
sections of their bodies.  Nunkies may all swoon <now>.

<chuckle>  I saw the trailer for this movie on E! television's "Coming
Attractions" show last week, and Kristen plays a very bad girl in this movie!
  Can't wait to see it!
