Things I'm Wondering About

[ithildin]

Random things I'm wondering about today as my brain leaps from one fic to another.

Would the stays in a corset deflect a knife so that instead of it stabbing where it was intended, it would go in at a different angle, potentially causing a less serious wound?

What was the most popular serious/hardcore recreational drug during the Roaring Twenties? Was opium still being used heavily?

What about the teeth of Immortals anyway? Would they never wear down? Would they grow back if knocked out, or are lots of Immies wearing dentures?

Early nineteenth pistols. Need to know more. Must look through collected websites soonish.

Just what did happen when Charlotte went to Bali with Tony? Will they ever tell me? Do I really want to know?

If Ezra Standish had to choose another name for a new persona, what would it be?

Later: Wow! I wasn't expecting so much random pondering help [g] And some of these aren't even for any specific purpose, just idle curiosity. Like the immie teeth one. Why am I wondering about it? Not a klew! I just am.

Well, nobody's teeth just repair themselves/regrow so I doubt it.

Well no one's really immortal either, so I'm not sure that matters! [bg] It's just one of those many things about Highlander it's just best not to think about. But i do anyways.

Well no one's really immortal either, sure, that you KNOW :P Yeah, I know what you mean-like I mentioned the hair and it's same to assume that they can still feel shitty because when Duncan was taking care of that new immortal and she wanted to do all that drinking her told her she wouldn't die but wish she had or something...so gotta wonder

Remember that they can get colds too, so I always assumed they could get infectious diseases (have read some great fic on that subject). Which leads to the question of whether the immunity would stick, or if it would disappear every time the died and came back.
