If only they could add a written explanation like "First floor, Second floor..." and so on.
We know that psychological welfare is important during patient recovery so let's allow friends and relatives to visit.
Let's assume nobody works shifts, can get time off whenever they want, and transport is always available.
So it's agreed visiting hours are 03:00 to 03:21 every other Wednesday.
It's much easier to transport a human than a wild animal. So the simplest way to check if a creature has rabies is to let it bite you, then you go to the nearest hospital and ask to be examined.
If you have rabies then it's highly likely the animal does too. Maybe do this 3 or 4 times to be sure.
If magnets have north and south poles how come there's no penguins and polar bears on either end?
Proof that magnets are fake.
Carry On.

Because he's just so good at weaving, even English professors say so.

And think of all the time you'd save by not having to write lyrics.
How could they wear a gorilla suit and still fly what was an experimental aircraft? Unless it was without the feet and hands with the body used for insulation?
Also anything below the shoulders wouldn't be visible to onlookers even in an open cockpit, so it seems a little pointless?
A mask, maybe.

If you play Weekend at Bernies in slow motion you can make it last the whole week.
Ironically that's exactly how long the film feels when played at normal speed.
This is why contemporary stories start with electromagnetic signal loss.
Think of all the plots ruined by someone with a phone calling for urgent help, or lost in the forest then remembering they have GPS.

I see the police have turned up.
I find their knowledge of time travel law is very poor. And I'm thinking of the plain clothes officer who tried to hide from me the other day by going into his little blue flashy light police box.
Are the crew paid more when they work over time?

Also turn on the histogram when you're reviewing your pictures to see if you need to adjust anything.

They're called a Sandhill Crane because they're the height of a crane on a sandy hill.
