How to Spot The Thing

AVENUE Hello, Andrew Barr, the National Post's resident monsterologist, here. I know l'm human, and if you're reading this, you're probably human, too. But what if you're dealing with The Thing? This alien monster (which is on full display in this weekend's new "reboot," or whatever movie executives are calling it these days) doesn't want to show itself – it just hides inside an imitation of someone else, someone like YOU. The Thing will fight if it has to, but it's also vulnerable when left out in the open. If it takes us all over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kilI. And then, my friends, The Thing has won. HOW TO SPOT THE THING So you're going about your business, being a scientist in the Antarctic, when one of your colleagues brings back a big chunk of ice with a frozen alien in it. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the alien thaws out and can perfectly mimic anything it comes in contact with. The creature then proceeds to eat and replace all your friends. Bummer. But how can you tell who is human and keep this monster from taking over the world? WHAT TO LOOK FOR HOW TO IDENTIFY THE THING I PARANOIA: Anyone could be the space monster, so why wouldn't you be paranoid? And since the monster can mimic its victims perfectly, it would probably be acting paranoid, too, so that's not going to be any help. HANGRY EXPRESSION: STEP 1: Using a scalpel or other sharp tool, make an incision in a thumb and collect the blood in a small This probably just means the subject is angry. After all, you just accused this guy of being a sinister creature from outer space. If you were in his position, you probably wouldn't be too happy either. dish, preferably a petri dish. -I SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR I WRECKING EQUIPMENT: "Hey, he just ruined our only means of escape! That would make it real easy for The Thing to take Sure, saying you thought you saw someone out by the generator building is a pretty flimsy excuse. But then again, you can't prove you saw someone out there, can you? Man, this is hard. STEP 2: Take a piece of wire and heat it until it is red-hot. he rest of us over!" This may be true, but it also means the creature's stuck us over! here in the Antarctic with everyone else. Thus, it will just freeze and go back to sleep, which isn't getting it any closer to a goal of world domination. again, maybe The is using those parts from the wrecked equip- ment to build something else entirely. Then STEP 3: Apply the heated wire to the blood. Because every portion of The Thing is alive, if the blood being tested is from an imposter, the creature will flee the attack. I SIGNS OF ILLNESS (MENTAL OR PHYSICAL): Again, not such a useful indicator. If the monster's victim was ill, the imita- tion will also appear ill. If the victim had a tendency STEP 4: Using a flame-thrower, burn the now-revealed monster before it has a chance to escape and take over any of your remaining friends. to mumble under his breath a lot, so will the imitation.
