Cthulhu looks like he's wearing fingerless biking gloves! Awww, he's such a stylish little eldritch horror!

I'm surprised no one's mentioned James Garfield yet; he was ambi, and supposedly could write in two languages at the same time.

I tried it and, meh, the Siberian husky it matched me with was really cute, but I can't honestly say it even looked 60% like me. And my fiancee looks nothing like a mastiff!

This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen! Wish he'd made the Catbus bigger, though (it's flying around Laputa with Kiki).

Ralph should also have warned us that Jewel Kryptonite is totally a Zoner scam!

(One of the weirdest things for me was seeing Isaac Asimov on TV for the first time, commenting on the Apollo missions, and…

Leaving party politics aside, the short answer is, we won the Space Race. It really was all about beating the Godless Commies to the Moon; science and exploration were always secondary. In the absence of grand spectacle public apathy set in, and anything without a military application was cut to the bone. The robotic…

So, "So Long, And Thanks For All The Ultraviolence?"

@KnaveOfDiamonds: You will probably hate me for this link, I didn't know they were currently unavailable! (I want one, dammit!)
