1. Karen Allen was laughing so hard that she fell down and broke her wrist. She kept up the witty repartee even when seeing the orthopod at the ER.

2. It's ironic that Dr. Rosenberg broke his arm in an ice-hockey game, because he's the orthopod who treated Bobby Hull.

ornithopter

The ornithopter sparkled and glided through the sky like a metallic bird.

Ornithophobia

A severe and exaggerated fear of birds. Sufferers of this phobia might fear that they will be attacked by a bird or may simply be uncomfortable around them. They would usually fear their fluttering wings, the way they move, the way they fearlessly fly towards people hoping for food, the texture of feathers, the fear of disease or any combination of these. Birds can also be loud, large and menacing, and they can demonstrate little fear of humans.
The phobia itself causes heart palpitations, sweating, nervousness, and avoidance behavior in those who suffer from Ornithophobia. Without treatment the phobia can become life-limiting.
"Dude did you see Kimberly run away from that bird?"

Ornithophobia

A supreme fear of dangerous flying objects known as birds - dirty, annoying creatures with feathers and (perhaps) tiny hair.
Jen's ornithophobia causes her to scream when birds fly by, even when she's in the car. In fact it's so bad, she is afraid of large groups of butterfies.
