  if you throw them off a cliff while on fire into a river infested with starving predators, and they live, then they are a witch.

  Burn them!

  I was going for this:
  Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
  Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
  Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
  Peasant 1: Burn them.
  Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
  Peasant 1: More witches.
  Peasant 2: Wood.
  Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
  Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
  Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
  Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
  Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
  Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
  Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
  Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
  Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
  Peasant 1: Bread.
  Peasant 2: Apples.
  Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
  Peasant 1: Cider.
  Peasant 2: Gravy.
  Peasant 3: Cherries.
  Peasant 1: Mud.
  Peasant 2: Churches.
  Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
  King Arthur: A Duck.
  Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
  Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
  Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
  Peasant 2: ...A witch!

  "I scienced that"

  Hmmm...gonna have to disagree with you there. Science is a noun.

    functional– jaylarson2/2

  Saw a PBS special last week about Living Forever and learned that biomechanical, lab grown organs, are now a reality. So many advances in just the last two years really changed how I viewed the future. I saw a video of a perfect set of lungs, grown from living cells, in a jar in a lab, respirating normally. I was totally blown away. This video from two years ago is an example of what science can achieve:

  A Southern California start-up backed by Google and prominent venture capital firms announced on Wednesday a technology it claimed could slash the electricity consumption of a wide range of devices like industrial motors, hybrid cars, computers and cellphones.

  The result could be electric cars that drive farther without recharging, the disappearance of bricklike device chargers and solar panels that generate more electricity, according to the founders of Transphorm.

  The company, based in Goleta, Calif., has developed a power conversion module that it says cuts energy waste by 90 percent. Currently, about 10 percent of the energy generated in the United States is lost as electricity because it is converted from alternating current to direct current and back, according to Umesh Mishra, Transphorm’s chief executive.
