By "skin" they mean the dermis, the surface layer. By "flesh" they mean the muscle and such. By "rape" they mean... hey, I wonder if they have a lot of women? I'm guessing it's one of those chauvinistic gentleman-only clubs.

By "rape" they mean "prison buddy".

I dunno - flesh is the stuff which covers bones...ie skin. As for eating some parts, and discarding others: flesh is the same all over the body, which brings us back to wearing a hamburger...

Just wanted to stop by and say that I have just finished wathcing the DVD set and have to say..

...I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

Why o why did it have to be cancelled?!?!?!

I live in Australia so saw the DVD set without having seen any of the episodes on TV. (We didn't get it here and are unlikely too)

I heard about the shappy treatment the show recieved in terms of FOX's scheduling. At least Angel still lives, kinda.

I took a gamble in importing it and it was worth every cent. I hope that Firefly comes back in some shape or form in the future as I WANT MORE!!!!

Do you wear any leather? That's just animal skin treated with a preservative. And if you're a carnivore, then I'm sure you've eaten an animal that's also used to make a pair of boots.

Correct as far as it goes SLK, but maybe it needs to go a little farther.

If steve580 is being serious, then he doesn't know the difference between skin, (epidermal tissue) and muscle (sub-dermal tissue.)

Dried skin is called raw hide, chemically treated skin is called leather. Beneath the skin is muscle tissue ... also known as flesh ... also known as meat. Dried flesh (meat) is called jerky, chemically treated flesh is called marinated. Flesh which has been treated with heat is called cooked, broiled, roasted, barbequed ... depending upon the particular process.

If steve580 is putting us on, he has done a marvelous job. If he isn't, then ....

Thanks. I'm a big sci-fi fan and so I keep myself up-to-date with what is happening. I certainly help the movie/tv/stage show/pantomime/anything!! goes ahead.
