Bugs can totally eat someone alive in seconds, Daniel! Howard could tell you exactly what it looks like! Hint: not pretty. And unfortunately, between that, dinosaurs, coyotes and good old-fashioned cannibalism, Howard's developed a bit of a neurosis about being eaten. Daniel's made the right choice in not elaborating on the word's origins.
Howard doesn't even try to pronounce the Russian, but he gets the idea. "A nesting doll? Were the coffins inside getting really beat up without them?" He always thought coffins were supposed to protect the body inside, not be protected on their own.
His eyes widen when Daniel explains the significance of this particular sarcophagus. There's no way. There's no way. "You're kidding, right? I mean, I've seen people come back from the dead but there's no way to really bring someone back, right? Like, without their brains turning into scrambled eggs? You're...making that up, right?"
Not that he's exactly chomping at the bit to see a demonstration.
