I missed these hard science articles, Alasdair.

Thanks and welcome! I really enjoyed the commentary and even enjoyed the fic—it's fun to get inside another person's mind. I have a few reservations about mocking consenting fetishes, which the fetishes in this fic appear to be. I don't think there's anything creepy or wrong about satisfying a necrophilia fetish in…

Well, I think the point of confusion was that there was any sound of this magnitude to begin with. It was just sped up to make it more comprehensible to lay people. They had to speed it up because it was a very low frequency sound.

Challenge your friends that they'll hate you before the night is over. When they accept, perform these ten tricks and watch as they call you an ass.

I'll miss you! Your movie reviews were awesomely insane. And your articles in general. But the reviews especially.

You can do whatever you want. All we're saying is that what you said isn't very nice (or particularly relevant) and you aren't going to seem like a very kind person if you keep saying it. And I doubt you'd say it to Lana's face.

I disagree. I think a person's name is what they call themself and partly what others call them. I honestly do not know if he or his friends called him Twain or Clemens, but I think a lot would depend on that.

It's so fake it must be real!

Oh… you're one of those cultists, aren't you?

Calvin and Charles aren't bad guys. And I think its perfectly fine having a book that focuses on the female protagonists when our media and culture is totally saturated with male ones.

And Homer didn't write The Odyssey.

No worries. You did. Lana's transgender.

Heh... heh...

Ideas are cheap.

All I have is this stupid pocket computer/TV/music player/worldwide communicator/information portal/camera.
