Scholars estimate he was born around 7 BC but since he exists out of time, he has no age.

Don't tell scottie, because scottie doesn't know.

Scottie doesn't know that Fiona and me do it in my van every Sunday.
She tells him she's in church, but she doesn't go.
Still, she's on her knees and Scottie doesn't know!
ETA: Goddamn you, pjab.

He landed at Juno beach on D-Day.
“We landed safely, thank God, through those Y-shaped steel barriers you see in the film, tracer bullets, all that, none of our men hurt, and dashed 75 yards to the 7-foot tall dunes,” Doohan said.
“Crossed a minefield, found out about it later: It was meant to blow up tanks, and we weren’t heavy enough. Moved up through a down – hardly a town just a village – called Graye Sur Mer, saw a church tower that was a machine-gun post, firing off to our left.
Doohan took out the machine-gun post with a couple of shots. “I don’t know if they were killed or wounded, but it shut them up,” he said.
His mother was told that German bullets had hit him at 11:30 p.m. on D-Day as he was returning from a forward gun position. He waled a quarter-mile – “the adrenaline lets you do it” – to the regimental aid post, Doohan said. He know about his right hand and the wack on his chest against that cigarette case, but that was all.
“The medic said: ‘You also have four bullets in your left knee.’ I said: ‘Well, I walked here.'”

I’m sure he’d be glad to know that he paved the way for a future of diversity and lgbt rights!

Scottie definitely wasn't stealthy, what with those giant brass balls banging against each other every time he moved.

Around 11 PM that night, a jumpy Canadian sentry fired at Doohan as the lieutenant was walking back to his post. He was hit by six bullets: four times in the left knee, once in the chest, and once in the right hand.
quote:
The bullet to his hand took off his middle finger (an injury he would always attempt to hide during his later acting career) and the one to his chest would have been fatal had it not been deflected by the cigarette case Doohan had just put back into his pocket, leading the actor to later quip that smoking had actually saved his life.
quote:
Doohan recovered from his wounds and joined up with the Royal Canadian Artillery, where he was taught how to fly a Taylorcraft Auster Mark IV plane. He was later dubbed the “craziest pilot in the Canadian air force” after flying between two telephone poles in 1945 just to prove that he could.
