    What item did actor James Doohan (yeah, Scotty!) credit for saving his life when he was gunned down by machine gun fire during D-Day?

    		James Doohan: I was on the beach at D-Day. I was wounded that night. Three bullets hit one finger..... And I had four in the left knee. One hit a sterling silver cigarette case.... Four weeks later, they cut the finger off. It was useless --- and not pretty.... I hid it in the episodes.
