Night Of The Pasta: Part Five

“Oh, you don’t know what you just did...” said one of the moon-buggy drivers after the death of General Wheat. “Kill your leader?!” Thomas laughed. Dawn made some doggy-chuckle sound, which was more of a ‘woof-woof-woof’.

With that, the drivers opened a secret hatch in their buggies. Out came a huge yellow laser, with various attachments on it. Tom tried to escape, but an invisible force held him back. “Finding yourself  stuck?!” chuckled the fusilli.

The one carrying the laser pointed Thomas at a Martian cave, and it shot the man over there. Dawn was shot into another cave.

Hopeless, Tom sat down. Suddenly, he heard a clang behind him. He turned round, only to see a Martian!

“Doing what are you here?” said the suprised alien. “Cute! A little Yoda!” replied Thomas. “Yoda not I am.” said the Martian. “OK, then... I’ll call you Gunky!” said Tom. “Name like Gunky I!”

“That’s good. But, I’m trapped in here. Can you help?” replied Thomas. “Gunky help I can. Me follow.”
With that, the two walked through what seemed like an endless stone passage, until Gunky suddenly stopped. “Careful you be. FOU around here of I.” Gunky pressed a button on a strange remote control, and suddenly a UFO appeared. “Whoa!!!” exclaimed Thomas.

Gunky pressed another button on the strange remote control and the UFO lifted up.. In less than a second, it was abducting the two friends.

They soared over the whole of Mars, zapping the invading pastas. They screamed as they burned to ashes.
At one point, they were hovering right above Dawn’s cave. They abducted her up too, and soared back down to Earth.

Meanwhile, someone was watching...

Too Cold To Handle: The Science Behind Brain Freeze

When you eat ice cream or something cold, you will probably experience brain freeze. It happens when you gulp a cold substance too quickly for your brain to cope with. Brain freeze is a way of telling your body to slow down and take it easy. It doesn’t feel particularly nice, but at least it works. Here’s how it happens: when you slurp up a really cold drink or eat ice cream too fast you are rapidly changing the temperature in the back of your throat, which feeds blood to the brain.  The brain can’t actually feel pain despite its many sensors, but actually brain freeze occurs on the outer layer of brain tissue, where the throat meets. When the cold hits, it causes a strange feeling which is what causes the pain you feel when you get brain freeze.
