The Case of the Anachronistic Quote

Continued from The Case of Doctor Walton, The Case of Zombie O’Malley, The Case of the Gypsy Amulet, The Case of the Magician, and The Case of Another Detour.

“My brother Meriwether heads the Academy of Science,” Zombie Shamrock O’Malley was beating himself up (and bits of him were flying everywhere), “It’s so obvious! Why hadn’t I thought of it before?”

“Perhaps it’s because you lack a quarter of your brain,” I observed through his skull.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, my dear Doctor Walton,” O’Malley explained to me, “Therefore; it should be a simple process to reverse the gypsy magic that turned me into a zombie with one of my brother’s technologies.”

I momentarily dreamed of the bygone days when I would have called this ridiculous.
