How many positions can the human body be put in? [Pause, with

[Talking about terminology...]
If an EMT does an "-otomy", it's called a "felony".
[Doing a Frankenstein's monster impression] If you find an arm on
your way home tonight, the end with the fingers is "inferior".
Germs do not have power tools.

What are your cells doing right now? They're listening to a lecture.
Can any of them understand it? I hope some can...
[Tapping on his head] If I just did that without a skull on, I
wouldn't be able to finish this lecture; luckily I remembered
to bring my skull tonight.
If their heart is stopped and they're not breathing,
