Moral of the story: Never accept a beverage offered to you by Dr. White.
You go first.
Which leads me ponder Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794), the French chemist who discovered oxygen,and was beheaded during the Reign of Terrorduring the French Revolution.He told a friend that he would continue blinking for as long as possible afterthe guillotine struck. The goal was to find outhow long he would remain conscious.He blinked for about 15 seconds. Thus proving that nerdiness is something that you apparently CAN take with you. Also, I guess it proves that being beheaded doesn't hurt so bad that you lose your focus.
