Veteran Star Trek actor James Doohan has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The 84-year-old - who is most famous for playing Scotty in the sci-fi program and was often on the receiving end of Captain Kirk's phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" - has been discovered to be suffering from the most common form of dementia. His wife, Wende Doohan, 47, says, "With Jimmy it's the loss of words. He is not so sick yet that he doesn't know people. And there are times when he is sharp as a tack. But it's the older memories that stick. What he had for breakfast might be an iffy thing, but by golly he could tell you all about how he got the part on Star Trek." A Hollywood tribute will be paid to the father-of-three next month.

Scotty's dilithium crystals keep him at warp factor 12... Men half his age are at impulse power only.

speaking of them, a guy i work with is REALLY odd.
anyway eh was sick with a cold and told his wife to go to wallgreens to get some stuff, saying "dilithium crystals" was one of the things he needed. said they were like epsom salt sort of, but help with colds and stuff.
she actually went to the pharmisist and asked where she could find some.
