If I told them once, I told them a thousand times. Don’t put large machinery with 4-foot cogs on a space station.

Reminds me of that plotline from Ringworld

Winky – the human equivalent of a natural 1 on a d20.

Dr. Mel was unlucky with that experiment.

We’re gonna need another journal!

Hey, he’s still up a spleen.

Keep in mind, Winky DOES keep surviving somehow. That must be good luck. Or an incredibly perverse version of bad luck.

While asymptomatic himself, Dr. Mel is a carrier for the bad luck virus. Winky needs to learn to stay away. Actually everyone would be better off avoiding Dr. Mel.

Sonds like he was lucky to make it out of there alive.

I’d say Winky is extremely lucky, by evidence that he’s still alive.

Nuts. All that evidence destroyed, I mean, lost

An incinerator on a space station?

At least the dog didn’t eat his homework.

Dire trier, pants on fire…

Does Charlie Chaplin know about this?

Oh, yeah … so hard to make a determination without the hard-data …

Winky’s bad luck is due largely to him being clumsy, stupid and his association with Dr. Mel.

I always wonder if Winky just gets a bunch of spleen transplants, or if it’s self-healing like Prometheus’s liver. And if they are transplants, how is the supply kept up? So many questions.

it’s amazing he managed not to fall into the giant trash compactor…

Well, it all happened because he so careless and incompetent and dropped the book.

I think Winky is beginning to suspect …
