I have a new favorite CSI “Scientific” Moment!

 

That would be the moment in which we discover that apparently, if you have a brain tumor and are exposed to light your eyes may become FOUNTAINS OF BLOOD.*

 

Also, the blood can be green, but that’s an aside. It was all part of the really stupid Ripley’s Believe It Or Not premise of this episode. Apparently the show’s unholy alliance with the Mythbusters** has spawned some sort of insane Weird Science-Off (replete with characters named “Planck,” “Bohr,” and, of course, a cat named “Schrödinger”). Although “science” in this case is clearly a bit of a broad term. This entire episode is a CSI “Scientific” Moment.

 

Bear in mind that on CSI Night we only have the TV turned to CSI to keep up appearances; we rarely pay much attention to it. However, this one was worth the glances we gave it just for that.

 

 
*I liked the responses of the characters to this development, too.  Not “CHRIST KRISPIES WHAT JUST HAPPENED” but “Oh, for heaven's sake, our suspect's face seems to be exploding” followed by an eyeroll. And later a simple, “I guess this tumor would explain why blood shot a foot from his eye sockets. Intracranial pressure, you know.”

**Josh’s alternate theory: Mythbusters were cheesed at CSI’s theft of their test to see whether you can get decapitated by truck tires, and the settlement included their being granted a weird random cameo on the show.
