Found a DC'er that has a healthy understanding (and apparent dislike) of SOPA. [huff.to]

...some sort of conspiracy?

Frankenstein and Dracula are worth the read and are both available now for free online.

I've read a number of books (Foundation and Dune, as others have mentioned below) but don't really recall them well.

My only problems with fuzzy slippers is that they don't really protect your feet and that they absorb slush, snow, and rain. The kid wears those outside in inclement weather, then the soaked slippers track water through the halls for the rest of the day.

They're not joining the blackout, but they're providing good coverage here.

Here's a Wikipedia article you can read during the blackout: [en.wikipedia.org]
