A bone siphon...

Did anyone ever watch that show 'Spliced'? It had the stereotypical failure of a mad scientist character try to remove everyone's spines in one episode. It was weird; there was a whale skunk, a diaper full of spines, a volcano, a robot baby. That show was just weird honestly.

Also yes, please someone pump life into the IC. I would but have nothing to post that would move things forward.
