It works well for stress relief for some, I suppose. And being in an alternate dimension where the end of the world is quite possibly approaching can be rather stressful. It was never really my go-to reaction for stress though. I don't mind having a couple of drinks every so often, but I tend to pay attention to my limits and put a stop to the drinks before I begin to make myself look like a fool.
Well, considering one of my Ph.D.'s is in biology and another is in genetics, yes, I do think it sounds fascinating. I've come across several people with abilities the average person doesn't have, including a few who's abilities caused them to look different in one way or another, but never anyone with multiples of organs that the rest of us only have one of.
