        The point is that there isn't *A* canonical James Nicoll tale. The
point is that whenever a discussion turns to some manner in which a
human being can be menaced, injured, or potentially killed, it will turn
out that James has already had it happen to him. No matter how funny,
unlikely, wierd, or pedestrian. He hasn't SAID he has a scar on his arm
from being attacked by aliens with laser swords, but I would be only
mildly surprised if he did. And I'd believe him.
