And it’s deadly.

16 years ago I had a heel spur that, on the X-ray, looked exactly like the corner of a piece of paper. It was that sharp , and digging into my Achilles tendon, and would have eventually cut through, so I scheduled surgery so it wouldn’t end up getting it fixed in the ER at oh-dark-thirty. Today I think I’d hop about on crutches before doing that. All hospitals are dangerously understaffed, unless you’re a movie star or a Saudi Prince. Stay away if you possibly can.

I wonder what Woke people call the Achilles tendon? 😄

Doubles

Sonkitten was geeking out, watching an episode of Star Trek about android Data and his evil twin, Lore. We got to wondering if an actor playing a dual role gets paid double. So we looked it up. If you are wondering too— No, not unless he negotiates his contract that way. Normally actors are paid for the time they put in, or so say the answers we found. Now, Brent Spiner would have had to put in more time than usual, filming Data’s part and then Lore’s part, so he probably did make more than usual that week, but they would not have intentionally paid him double.
