Scotty channeling his inner Blanche:
TOS s3e17 “That Which Survives”
It’s ironic, because Leonard Nimoy is like 37 in that photo or something.
Here he is on his 36th birthday.
Isn’t it hotter on Vulcan?
Much hotter. It’s why the Vulcans have an inner eyelid. It protects their sight from the harsh sun and sandstorms.
Oh yeah, we learned that following the incident with the flying fried eggs on fishing lines.
But also, their blood is copper-based, whereas our is iron-based. That’s why their blood looks green.
Perhaps the key is in that, since a lot of aging is to do with our bodies basically burning up (oxidation of one sort or another.)
Mature faster, get pickled, live forever – it’s a win-win!
If these posts wound up being the only archeological records of Lemmy, nay - humanity, to survive in a thousand years I’d be happy with that.
