After Xena first confronts Callisto, she puts "the pinch" on Theodorous (from Callisto's army) and says that she cut off the flow of blood to his brain and that he has thirty seconds to live. She continues to ask him questions and eventually takes "the pinch" off. What's strange is that a time interval of about 1 minute and 15 seconds passed before she took "the pinch" off. How did he live twice as long as he was supposed to?
