Hmm, I thought Miranda Kerr looked almost frighteningly thin in her Gala picture.

Huh, I had just the opposite reaction. I devoured L.ofL. and T.I.-I thought they were more adventure stories of the H. Rider Haggard type with an sf backdrop-but had a 'meh' reaction to the Amber books. I've the first two, maybe three, and I liked them well enough, but they didn't fill me with the absolute NEED to…

Aah, I see what you mean.

Elephant in the room: I'm not a Masai. Neither, I suspect, are you. I'll even go further and assert that neither of us is descended from a farming-herding culture for many generations, so I'll extrapolate from THAT that neither of us has a comparable morphology, metabolism, or genetic profile to the 'average' Masai.

Low hanging fruit: Eating roadkill is probably better for you than "the average American diet". And honestly, I think roadkill would be closer to an actual paleo diet than what you're talking about. I'm sure humans and proto-humans scavenged far more carcasses than they ever hunted.

No, there is no evidence to support this; all those fossils ties into nothing now alive. all they have are pieces of other creatures that no longer exist, none of it ties in to anything that are now living;

Cool, another fan!

The poor guy had hardly any luck at all when he was alive, so it would be great to see him get any recognition at all really. Schroedinger's Kitten, The O. Niemand…

LOTR and now stuff like Game Of Thrones has helped Fantasy in general and mature fantasy in particular find new audiences, and really, SFWA Grand Master Poul Anderson did it as well as anyone ever has.

This might be worth a watch as long as it's not opposite the J-Love Hewitt Handjob Hour. Priorities and all.

Hmm, maybe I could have normalized my brain chemisty if I were just more committed to talking about it....

I've seen this guy on tv before-some sort of dick special on HBO- and I think he more than anyone else broke me of that "Bigger is always better" mindset that men are spoon-fed by porn. The guy complains about being known only for his dick, but he really doesn't seem to have anything else to offer; he has all the…

A gleaming golden-colored place where men become gods?

I think he's now a member of the Kingsguard.

These accusations are totally bogus. I ask you, would a Uni president who challenges people to fistfights in open meetings ever stand for those types of shennanigans?
