#simple rambles

Superman drops off some pretty flowers for Batman one day ‘To Batman xox Superman’ (he’s so brave - very proud of himself). Bruce immediately googles all the flowers in it to try and work out the meaning.

“Gazania’s represent wealth and Richness.. It has moon flowers in it. Moon… it’s currently a waning moon… *GASP* he knows I’m Bruce Wayne.”

“Sir maybe he just liked the look of the flowers-“

“BEGONIA’S MEAN BEWARE ALFRED! He knows my identity and he is BLACKMAILING me!”

“What about the note, sir. He signed it x o x ”

“It’s one of those ‘emoticons’ Alfred! Two x’s for dead eyes and the o is the surprised mouth. My god he’s going to kill me and he thinks I’ll never see it coming.”

It’s an interesting bit of mostly unknown pub trivia

Until, of course, Spock gets most of his teeth knocked out following an unfortunate first contact. Modern technology means it’s an easy enough process to regrow, only what comes out is not the flat teeth Bones is used to, nor even the slightly pointed canines Spock remembered from childhood, but the full grown fangs of an adult Vulcan who is CLEARLY showing off their feline ancestory.

Now Bones in a doctor, not a dentist, and the onboard dentist has only been trained in basic Vulcan hygiene not complicated species-specific dental surgery

Due to the presence of Vulcan’s meld point and general psychic capabilities, any sort of surgery on a Vulcan’s facial area is extremely risky and only can be done by a specialist on Vulcan itself. Since it is technically an elective (but major) surgery, the wait time is atrocious and the time off difficult to get, so Spock just had to make do.
