Bones McCoy jobless before even born?

By Matt Bucknall Posted Thursday 27th September 2007 15:26 GMT

Is it normal to have a job before you're born?

Obviously, you were lucky. We used to have to get up, six months before we were conceived, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Mom would abort us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

Zombies

Well, your caption on that image does make a very valid point. If I were a doctor, and I had to operate on someone with a nasty case of the zombie plague, I'd want to be thousands of miles away and have a robot do the dirty work too! This is quite clearly evidence that the zombies are real and the government is losing the war!

Vice-president?

Presumably the next time The Man Who Would Be Dick (copyright acknowledged) has to go for heart surgery, surgeons feel there is a strong risk his heart will collapse catastrophically under its own weight. Either that or he doesn't trust the surgeons. Either that or the surgeons don't trust themselves. (Think about that one).

It occurs to me that Doc McCoy is still golden as the time delay between say earth n mars would be too long for surgery. It would be all:
