When i say that bockstensmannen “happened to die in a bog” what i am actually is saying is:
bockstensmannens amazingly preserved body was found in the 20th century in a bog in sweden. His body had been pierced multiple times with wooden poles, which speared him into place in the bog.
First they thought this had been a modern murder, because he was so amazingly well preserved, but it was quickly realised that what they had found, was the body of someone who was killed during the 14th century.
According to nordic folklore, so was people who died in an unjust manner, like being murdered, prone to return from death to avenge the crime acted upon them.
spearing bodies with wooden poles was a way that, according to the very same folklore, one could stop the unjustly killed from returning from death to reveal your crime.
So this case is less of a “happened to die in a bog” and more of “was very carefully buried in the bog during the 14th century, by someone who must likely had something to hid. And who was going to spear that body until there was ZERO change that the dead person in question, would return from the grave”
I remember that one theory of who bockstensmannen was, was that he was a civil servant of the local rule, and he was killed by some locals who did not want to follow his lords orders. And that also being why they were so careful with hiding their crime. But that theory of bockstensmannen identity was just a theory i heard waaaay back.

the thing about Spock is, like, whenever he comes in for a checkup or whatever, McCoy’s all like “god these readings are so fucked but that’s normal for you so… carry on i guess”
but unless I’m wrong about this (and I could be, i’m not That Deep into the lore yet) Spock is one of the first (if not the first) documented Vulcan-Human hybrid to survive into adulthood? so there actually isn’t an established normal for him. like you can take all the readings you want when he’s at rest and seems to be in good health and extrapolate from those, you can make predictions based on the norms of Vulcan anatomy and human anatomy, but there’s so much range between the two and so little precedent that there are bound to be unknowns

spock has two sets of eyelids and no one else knew about this until he temporarily went blind. if an entire second set of eyelids could come as a surprise just imagine what else is going on under the surface. there are so many question marks here.
i feel like this is what McCoy thinks about at 3am
Spock: Nothing to worry about, doctor, my Superior Vulcan Physiology ™ and I are in perfect operating condition
McCoy, watching the medical tricorder go the most batshit it’s ever gone during a routine physical examination:

Some highlights:
1 January – Researchers at Harvard, writing in Nature Nanotechnology, report the first single lens that can focus all colours of the rainbow in the same spot and in high resolution, previously only achievable with multiple lenses.
2 January – Physicists at Cornell University report the creation of “muscle” for shape-changing, cell-sized robots.
3 January
–
Scientists in Rome unveil the first bionic hand with a sense of touch that can be worn outside a laboratory.
9 January – A pattern in exoplanets is discovered by a team of multinational researchers led by the Université de Montréal: Planets orbiting the same star tend to have similar sizes and regular spacings. This could imply that most planetary systems form differently from the Solar System.
10 January – Researchers at Imperial College London and King’s College London publish a paper in the journal Scientific Reports about the development of a new 3D bioprinting technique, which allows the more accurate printing of soft tissue organs, such as lungs.
15 January
– University of Washington scientists publish a report in the journal Nature Chemistry of the development of a new form of biomaterial based delivery system for therapeutic drugs, which only release their cargo under certain physiological conditions, thereby potentially reducing drug side-effects in patients.
17 January – Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with Peking University scientists, announce the creation of a memory storage device only one atomic layer thick; a so-called ‘atomristor’.
