@Meerkats: Actually, Nolan said in an interview that the team selected this song before Marion Cotillard joined the cast. that he always wanted this song for the kick. I don't think she was the first choice for that role.
OK, so I showed up here hoping to be encouraged to keep reading and I'm glad so many people are excited about this book. I'm having a hard time figuring out the world, and it may be partly because I'm trying to create a coherent picture but this is my first fiction book in years (that's not a classic) and I'm having a…
@DarwinSurvivor: I stand corrected... I really meant to write open source slash free software...

@Bubarubu: This was a really neat tip to share. Thanks! Do you know Diigo? If so, can you say how both products compare? Just wondering. I still want to give Zotero a try!

@DirtyHippy: It's still a homicide (which means that a person was killed). But there are different types of homicides like other have said. Murder is considered a planned homicide. Manslaughter is homicide without malice.
Monsters vs. Aliens... Had to Google it... That's how much it affected me!
@Csaba Szalontai: He's the executive
@Limeade: That was cute!
@mordicai: Found this for you. Praise The Google!
@Annalee Newitz: Thanks, Annalee! I'm a moran! I've been trying to catch up on my io9 reading (and failing!).
