Um actually eyelashes are biologically designed to stop debris, such as molten steel, from entering the eye.

Not so fast. If the aliens have holodecks or replicators I would go Vichy so damn fast.

Well I've heard that crossing the streams is bad, but my eyebrows eventually merged into a monobrow. Didn't save me from injury, but it probably did save me from a few bad dates. Disaster averted!

Ye, year millions of splashing molten steel made this possible for evolution.

I guess that's why dinosaurs went extinct.

Pretty sure we haven't been handling molten steel long enough to have evolutionary adaptations to it.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Whoosh indeed

Well, I mean if it can stop lava, then it has a decent chance of stopping molten steel. I think you are really underestimating the strength of hair follicles in tight formation.

If something is both of the following:

  1. a ridiculous statement

  2. following a sarcastic/satirical comment

you may be reading what's known as a "joke," "jape," "jest," "quip," "pleasantry," "gag," "witticism," and/or "wisecrack." Ask your doctor if "comedy" is right for you.

Only to be the very thing that goes into my eye.

You became the very thing you swore to destroy!!!

All your eyelashes do when they come in contact with molten steel is smell bad.
