Why this must be read:
Now for a change up in pairings -- just for today -- as I couldn't go a month without reccing one of Julad's stories and this is definitely my favourite. The premise makes me laugh every time, because and if there were ever two people who would make scientific lemonade out of the lemons thrown at them it would be Zelenka and McKay.
Cursed to quack and honk likes ducks? Not a problem. They'll come up with a reason why -- even if it's the most absurd thing in the universe.

"Don't be ridiculous," Rodney said. "That defies any number of the laws of physics."
"I agree," Zelenka said firmly. "It's impossible. Also, implausible. Also," he added to Rodney, "clearly not true."
"Felozian law dictates that punishment must mitigate the crime, Lady of Atlantis," the Felozian Ambassador said delicately to Elizabeth, who was still gaping open-mouthed. "As your envoys have persisted in saying such unacceptable things in our presence, we have ensured they cannot give further offense to our Honoured Knowledge-Givers."
Rodney rolled his eyes. "It wasn't that offensive. If your scientists were worth anything, they'd have thicker hides than that!"
"Besides, was perfectly valid criticism," Zelenka added.
John held up the recorder again, and pressed play. "Quack quack quack," it said, in Rodney's voice. "Quack honk quack quack honk honk!"
"Honk," Zelenka's voice said. "Quack quack honk."
"Okay," Rodney admitted, frowning. "Maybe not as impossible as I thought."
Zelenka turned and looked at him. He was frowning too, but there was a glint of excitement in his eyes. "We have to find out what's causing that."
Rodney felt his heart leap with excitement. "There must be some kind of distortion field around us! We have to find out if it's --"
"Yes, and how big it is!"
"Where is it getting the power from?" Rodney demanded. "The kind of power it would take to generate a field like that could be--"
"I hate to interrupt," John interrupted, breaking Rodney's train of thought. "But since we can't understand a word you're saying, is there some way you can tell us what the quack you're so happy about?"
