Just finished the book, and though a little rambly and confusing here and there it was still a solid piece that kept my interest and answered enough in the end.

"Well, we do know that men have taints that are roughly twice as long as those of women, suggesting a longer taint correlates with greater virility and male fertility."

Nah, it's cool. If there's anything rare on the Internet it's people who can accept others differing opinions. :D

Much as I liked Blade Runner, it always seemed to be more flash than depth. I know I'm not going to be popular with that stand point, but alas.

Alan Rickman never looked or acted like Snape to me, but that's just me.

I'd also check with the janitors, see if they're skipping wiping the touchless facets down figuring that no one is touching them anyway.

This was back in 2008? That was three years ago. What about now?

You may have trouble convincing the librarians that you're trying to help things.

We've lost so much history. If I had a time machine and just one round trip, I'd want to go to the Library of Alexandria with a digital camera and get it all the scrolls and books and whatnot photographed and scanned.

I totally agree. However there is still an excellent point to make that the rockets we use to get materials up into orbit in the first place to construct such a ship are temperamental still - we're still losing rockets from time to time - heck, we lost a space shuttle on launch once! If a rocket containing fissile…

No-nuclear-weapons-in-space treaties. Nuclear is the only good fast drive we could whip up, and most countries will be dammed if they're gonna let another country lob some fissile material into orbit.

The one with the black aliens with the gun!!!! THEY KILLED FRITZ!!!!!!

Never underestimate the ingenuity of an alien.

The one with the sorta-mushroom headed reddish brown and white things and the "Dandelion seeds" is my favorite here.

This movie looks like nothing but eye candy, and that's about all I'll expect out of it... when I watch it on DVD.

They've gone plaid!

He left earth okay, but his luggage got sent to Fresno so he has to come back.

Wow! I can get excited about this - I just finished Children of Earth last week!

I just saw it and tremendously enjoyed it. Oscar material? No. Playground for thought? FUCK YEAH!!!
