1) Who was the guy who wanted to buy it?
2) Didn't the shopkeeper have an idea of the selling price of each item in his shop?
3) When you need antiques or curios evaluated, you calla physicist?
4) From the surface of Mars, Saturn appears larger than the moon as seen from the surface of the Earth?
5) The shopkeeper's wife suspects the professor instead of the guy who came to the shop demanding the egg over and over?
6) When you kill someone for a mysterious artifact, be sure to also kill the crazy guy who said it was a window to Mars.
7 Was that a Dalek made of meat?
