Well OK, I took a moment to actually look at their methodology - they call 50% cell and 50% landline. Sounds reasonable, though the number is suspiciously round - I'm guessing it's a guess as to how many people, in what demographics, have cell phones.

Interesting - who do they talk with, I wonder? If they're phoning people with landlines, that probably skews the sample towards older people - and people who are willing to take several minutes to answer questions on the phone, effectively selects only elderly and/or lonely people.
I love Jigglypuff - I think it is a classic tragic hero - its strength is also its downfall!
How about the Illuminati trilogy? The bits about Hempscript, flaxscript and Emperor Norton's own currency, anyhow.
I am sorry to hear it, yeah, similar situation here. That's... really bad.
Sending you bolstering vibes, as I figure that couldn't hurt, well, if that's appropriate and not just annoying to you. :) Best, Amy
My mom wasn't that into sci fi (that was more my dad's enthusiasm) but my brother told me a story that I have no recollection of. Sometime around `73, she picked up the Hobbit. She then spent a week ensconced on the couch, plowing through the Ring and Sillimarion. We had to fend for ourselves. - I was 3 so I assume…
Not to lecture, but - well I found that if you don't cry about your mother's death soon after she dies, it can catch up with you later, big time. I think it seeped into my bones instead of my handkerchiefs... major depression got me within a few years. Who's to say what would have happened if I had done the mourning…
A note - this is a map of hateful _language_. Oh so nice Midwesterners, for instance, can very effectively insult and negate others through omissions and indirect allusions, rather than cussing and open slurs. (Well, so I'm told by at least one resident.)
Russ' short story collection Extra(ordinary) People is phenomonal, yes!
Hmmm, I don't remember dream-realms, nor a main female character, in Image of the Beast. Some oddly hot scenes, though, at least for my taste...
Ed Wynn was huge, really, starting in vaudeville, starring in the Follies too I believe, and wrote and appeared in Broadway shows. Then he moved to radio and became nationally extremely popular, and doing some TV as that came along. Ah ephemeral fame - to be known to the ages primarily as a voice in a Disney cartoon.
Uh, strike that - obvs. Similar swimming functions doesn't necessarily `undoing' evolutionary steps, or even using the same genes to obtain a finny result.
What about whales and cetatians, I thought that's a widely-known example?
Hmm, thanks, I have a smidge more comprehension of it now, I think!
And of course there's...
OK I read - well, skimmed the paper. If I understand correctly, in each generation the fastest of their soft robots was awarded more descendants. Then, to simulate evolution, I guess each of those descendants would have mutations from the original.
But I didn't see how those mutations were generated. Or, I realize,…

Wendy Pini's version of Masque of the Red Death is pretty racy! Other plusses - she queers it up considerably, and there's an interesting gender-ambiguous "little bit of everything" primary character, too, I really liked party-planner supreme Bunchh.
That's something I like, and also find a bit peculiar, about Professor Elemental - for a self proclaimed steampunk rapper, he has remarkably few cogs going on.
