"Signs" has a boo boo!

Have you watched the movie "Signs" by M. Night Shyamalan? Well, that was one show that I liked a lot, but unfortunately, I just discovered a boo boo....

I just read from my book that "In patients with asthma, the trouble isn't with getting air into the lungs; it's with getting air out". In the last scene of "Signs", the alien tries to poison the little boy by putting something up his nose. However, the little boy at that moment has an asthma attack, so he survives and doesn't get poisoned. Except that in reality if he did have an asthma attack, the poison would have GOT IN and not been able to GET OUT!! Oooops....

Well, if the boy didn't survive then the father wouldn't have put on his robes and become a pastor again and that really would have ruined the story huh? So lets just pretend we missed that boo boo, though I really hate it when people get scientifically incorrect....

By the way, somebody in today's papers wants to have huge parks in Singapore that emulate's New York's Central Park. Can somebody tell me what's so great about Central Park? Sure its a nice patch of green, but it's totally unsustainable, requiring vasts amount of watering and constant returfing. Has anyone gone to central park in the winter? Go see what maintenance needs to be done during the "off season". Nice green area? Yes. Ecologically sustainable? No. We already have a great park right here that I'm so proud of, and that's East Coast Park. Although its entirely artificial (sits on reclaimed land), it requires no watering, little maintenance (except clearing the leaves and branches from the tracks so skaters like myself don't trip over), and looks au naturel! That's the kind of park we need for a greener city! Save on water and taxpayer's money too! (Though with the new $160mil makeover we don't know if ECP will ever be the same again....)
