[240] Calcification of foreign bodies inside an organism. Very cool 
stuff. Can happen to a much greater extent than described here.
[288] Klingon university level biology classes. Can't you just see a 
class of young Klingon eagerly poised over their dissection trays?
[289] Seriously, inscribing things on rocks is the only reliable 
longterm cross-platform data transmission technology.
[306] It's the Star Trek universe. Everyone has the same basic 
joints, bones and muscles, unless they're a Horta or an energy being.
