[Klaatu Barada Nicotine]

	I just watched "The Day the Earth Stood Still" last night for the
first time in a long while. There was one scene in it that was unbelievably
funny, although I don't think they meant it. It went something like this:

	Klaatu, the man from outer space, was shot and wounded and was
	brought to Walter Reed Hospital. He's in a hospital room, and in
	the outer room, two doctors are discussing this strange being:

	Doctor 1: "His body is human, just like ours."
	Doctor 2: "Except that he's 78 years old, and he doesn't look
		   more than about thirty."
	Doctor 1: "They have a much longer lifespan than we do. Why?"
	Doctor 2: (taking out a pack of cigarettes and offering one to
		  the other doc) "Their medicine must be much more advanced
		  than ours."
	Doctor 1: (taking one of the cigarettes) "Yeah."



	Okay, that's not verbatim, but rent the videotape and watch it -
it's a pretty good movie anyway.
