Hitchhiker's Guide to University College Hospital |
|
|
The world of science was reeling yesterday after a near catastrophic spelling mistake at
University College Hospital was revealed that could have destroyed the fabric of space and time.
The drama unfolded when a new sign in the A&E Department was installed which read "Causality" instead of "Casualty". The mistake sent dozens of patients, doctors and hospital workers hurtling into the nether reaches of space and time and turned much of the hospital grounds into a swirling vortex of destruction for a good ninety minutes. Order was only restored when Professor Stephen Hawking arrived with a toolbox to dismantle the sign. "There's no way of telling what could have happened if the sign hadn't been changed when it was. The whole fabric of the universe could have been altered or destroyed forever", squawked Professor Hawking. "Quantum causality is the biggest fear of the cosmologist; somewhere in space a temporal anomaly rips into the fabric of the space-time continuum...." The Naked Galwegian reporter slinked away from Professor Hawking at this stage and had a stiff brandy in The River Inn and a couple of Nurofen. |
