What's TOS? Can't be Star Trek?
There were fireworks? I must have missed something!

Unless it was that movie, what was it called..
Tracks of Spock?
Trails of Spock?
Tears of Spock?
Time of Spock?

I can only vaguely remember there was a joke about it on Seinfeld (George talking about his dead fiance).

The Original Series IOW the one with the pointy eared guy in it and the ham. ;) there were lots of explosions on the show.

Oh ha.
All this is reminding me I need to go to the doc and get my ears flushed.
I wonder what causes tinnitus - do they even know?

I read a while back that there were at least a dozen areas in the brain that could generate tinnitus, in addition to damage in the cochlea. people with strokes in parts of their brains have found that their long-time tinnitus mysteriously vanished. there is still not much known about it.
