http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Celery
"During his fifth incarnation, the Doctor took to wearing a stalk of celery on the left breast of his frock coat. This began after his regeneration when he visited the city of Castrovalva in Andromeda. He considered it as a sign of civilisation. This incarnation claimed to be allergic to certain gases in the Praxis range of the spectrum, in the presence of which the herb turns purple. In that case, he would eat the celery."
Pardon me while I go kill myself for knowing this. - Sillywombat, on 12/04/2008, -0/+7Glowing soldiers storming an infiltration at dark.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jokes aside; the idea for allergens is pretty intelligent. - baldguy633, on 12/04/2008, -1/+7Why is it necessary to develop a cotton t-shirt that will tell you where you're bleeding at?
I understand that the military doesn't use white cotton t-shirts and they use brown or black, but come on. Is it really that hard to find the bloody spot on a t-shirt? - MrFurious2k, on 12/04/2008, -0/+5That way, when you shoot him, he'll light up and provide you a clearer target to aim at.
- MarineDigg80, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3this is a good idea in theory but if I get shot the last thing I want to do especially at night is to start glowing so the enemy can see me and kill me. So ummm keep it I will take my chances.
- dotorg, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2Strange, I always thought the warm, red stain pretty well showed where someone got shot.
- funkytaco, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2Agreed.
- fabriciom, on 12/04/2008, -1/+2When you are in high stress situations and adrenalin is kicking in you might not know you are shot and bleeding.
- inactive, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1When they make a sword that glows when there are trolls near by then you can let me know.
- Vladamir, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1Lactose intolerance ≠ allergy.
- inactive, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1You stole my comment :)
- TurnipFarm, on 12/04/2008, -1/+2"Bill! You've got heavy abdominal bleeding...and there's oak in the area!!!"
- Topher06, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1Wow, two strikes against it.
First we are surrounded by allergens so it would glow all the time.
Second, pretty sure the bright red stain on your clothes should tell you your bleeding.
U of Michigan slogan, "MIT we ain't". - inactive, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1Granted I have not read the article yet but I believe anything is a potential allergen depending on your personal body chemistry. Allergies can develop at any time. So how does this shirt know what you're allergic to?
- thejuggernaut11, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1It also glows blue when orcs are near.
- djr255, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1Misleading headline. Neither the story nor the tech have anything to do with sensing allergens.
Conductive fabric is still cool though, if the nanotubes don't clog your lungs like asbestos.
Also, read before you post, dummy. - MarineDigg80, on 12/04/2008, -1/+1I am pretty sure they mean for nighttime instances with low visibility it glows so they can quickly locate and close the wound.
- cJw314, on 12/04/2008, -1/+1Valid point, but if this helps you locate an injury even 2 seconds faster, that could be the edge that helps you survive - even more so if you're a field medic.
- addiktion, on 12/04/2008, -2/+2Yeah I can see it now. Your friend Frank walks into work and has a green glow all over him. He's wondering what the hell that means. Management chuckles and says "It's our new semen detection system. We wanted to make sure no one was getting pregnant from t-shirts."
- namochan, on 12/04/2008, -1/+1Oh, they've built it pretty far. Allready figured out how to light up an LED.
- johnny81, on 02/13/2009, -0/+0yup its old
