Mistakes

Back To Reality - S5-E6

Factual error: While it is true that lithium carbonate can be used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders, it cannot be administered in gaseous form. It is a very stable salt and only starts to form vapour at 1,310 degress Celcius. Spraying it about as a 'mood stabliser' at that temperature, as Kryten does, is going to kill everyone on the spot.

New yesterdaySuggested correction: Although it has limited solubility in water, lithium carbonate solution exists, and water forms vapour at a much lower temperature.

New yesterdayPlease do some research. If you dissolve a salt - any salt - in water, then boil off the water, the salt remains behind in crystalline form. It's called distillation. This is how seawater is rendered into freshwater. It's not rocket science.

New yesterdayI have been doing research using you. You've been a valuable asset in my education, and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. It's been fun.

Questions

Kryten - S2-E1

Question: When Holly is saying about how he has changed music he says that because of the 2 new notes he's made instruments would be bigger. "Triangles will have four sides. Piano keyboards the length of zebra crossings. Course, women will have to be banned from playing the cello." I don't understand the joke about the cello part. Could someone please tell me what he means?

Answer: The cello is a large four-stringed instrument, which, when it is played, stands vertically on the floor between the player's legs (assuming they are seated). If it is to grow as large as the other instuments mentioned will, it would require a rather unseemly lack of femininity to be able to encompass it with the legs.
