If you can get some from angels, they're also handy for storing monsters.

Oh, sure, to these scientists. To others they will be proof that neanderthals regularly used calculus. To others they will just be penises, or really long vaginas.

This basically proves there is no life on Mars. I'm not sure in a place with so few vehicles it would be possible for this not to have "Wash Me" finger painted on it.

Going by what I have read about him, my opinion would be it's because he's a really weird, fucked up, awful human being. Granted, what I've read could be skewed, but given the content of his films I tend to lean the other way.

I am really, really glad that mothers were given the talent to bear children. It's hard to imagine mothers without the talent to bear children. After all, they're mothers.

We would need children less if it were more feasible to own monkeys.

Or you could just use Katie Holmes.

Volunteers, sure, god bless them all. I don't believe we'll see volunteers in greater numbers in the future though. People are just too sensible about not wanting to get blown up and too educated on the real realities of war.

Well, first, it isn't just about being paranoid about nuclear tech, we have international treaties that forbid many uses of nuclear materials in space. It isn't paranoid, either, to not be too happy with the idea of failed space launches raining nuclear material on those below.

Oh, no doubt, but like the first-stringers. It had to be more interesting when the equipment was twenty years younger and spotlight made things all the more potentially scandalous.

I suspect the telegram was really written by e.e. cummings. Come on, science, make dots and dashes for punctuation!

I bet the secret service misses Bubba.

If you include the "... IN SPACE!" trope the examples are legion.

K'nuckles: Disappointment is the best adventure!

I really wish we could come up with a better word than "Fat". At this point in time the word is subconsciously negative by itself, even if it shouldn't be. Even "overweight" speaks of something being wrong with the person. Will people in swimsuits ever be able to be just people in swimsuits?

Even accurate identity is scary. That's what I meant about the scans. Hospital emergency personnel being able to scan you and know your coverage and credit before they give care. Profiling people based upon their credit scores, their criminal backgrounds, their registered political affiliations, various and sundry…

"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS—EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE."

Innumerable hours of time-wasting fun. I did a stretch of "Counting Bodies Like Sheep" by A Perfect Circle, and it became my background white noise for months.

It says really bad things about my psychology and my lifelong devotion to weird fictions that I immediately look to the dummies to be the characters with agency in all these photos.

Heh, not sure you've thought that through.
