Subject: Re: Fingerprints and DNA

A brief de-lurk before I have another hot Ribena and take my cough and cold
to bed.  The idea of vampire fingerprints and DNA left on file was what
inspired the one foray into fanfic that I got around to finishing and
posting.

DNA and fingerprint records have a certain rate of 'acceptable error' so two
or more unrelated people can be identified from a single sample.  When
governments collect millions of these records, e.g. under the pretext of
anti-terrorism legislation, who knows what problems this could throw up in
the future.

Subject: Prayer: For the men missing on Mt. Hood

You may have heard on the news about three men missing on Mt. Hood. One of the
men, Kelly James, did call his mother, LouAnn Cameron, but the call was cut
off.

  I know LouAnn fairly well. Imagine my horror upon hearing her name on the
national news connected with something this potentially ... bad. She's a strong
woman, but must be in total despair.

  Please keep all three men and their friends and family in your prayers and
thoughts.

Subject: QUESTION?--Cannon vs. Fan Fiction

Tonight I was watching old re-runs of the X-Files, the episode where Scully
meets a girl who inspires people to harm themselves, Episode, Bunghoney.
Mulder was throwing pencils in the ceiling because he was bored. Scully
walked in and the pencils started to fall from the ceiling. This episode was
co-written by Stephen King with Chris Carter.

I had a flash-back of Forever Knight with Nick doing something similar,
throwing pencils or pens in the ceiling? Was this in an episode, if so which
one or was it a fan fiction, and who was the author and what title?

Thanks for any info to solve this Forever Knight mystery!

I know that X-files episode... it was Scully centered, so Mulder had
apparently been stuck in the office the whole time and was bored....
pretty good ep.

ANyhoo.... I don't think that kind of scene was ever in an FK
episode.
But I also sometimes get confused with canon and fic.  Some of the
fic out there is so well written, I could swear it was in a show.

You're probably remembering some of the filler scenes in the first year
Canadian versions where Nick is sitting around his loft doing something similar with
tarot cards.

There were several of the Canadian filler scenes first season where Nick was
lying around the loft, playing chess with himself, drinking, generally being
bored.  At least two of the scenes are of him lying on his back tossing tarot cards
in the air--and you can see Ger surreptitiously check for where the camera is
and begin flinging the cards closer and closer to the camera.  He almost hits it
a few times, too!

So the throwing things at the ceiling is canon rather than merely fanon, and
since the behavior is established, I'd think that it would be an easy hit to put
it into stories.
