This discussion of food in science fiction reminded me of a cookbook I have by Ann McCaffrey (best known for her Dragonriders of Pern series). It collects the favorite recipes of science fiction authors. Amazon seems to still have it available:

Punny!

If this treatment worked better than expected, you might literally have to do the #2 clippers all over!

I got my complete series DVD set from Amazon Marketplace for about $23.00. There's quite a few gently-used copies to be had as well.

Interesting discussion of the situational use of "boy" to refer to an African-American male. I'm a mostly Caucasian guy living in South Louisiana, and I would NEVER refer to any African-American male as "boy" or "my boy." Even if it were a young male, I'd use "kid" instead to avoid offense. I learned essentially

Unless I'm mistaken, these graphic-novel versions are still availible in a Science Fiction Book Club omnibus. Here's a link:

I feel ya there. I was following the discussion of some whippersnapper in the O-Deck who had never read the Foundation Trilogy by Asimov. The kids these days just don't get educated in the classics anymore, grumble, grumble . . .

I did some poking around, and found that the "Swords . . . " books featuring Fafherd and the Grey Mouser are still available as e-books. So if you want to purchase them for your e-reading enjoyment, you can get them from FeedBooks:

The Fafherd & Grey Mouser Lankhmar stories were reprinted in omnibus editions from the Science Fiction Book Club, and might still be available from them. If not, Amazon or Alibris might be a source for them used. I'd definitely recommend reading them, they are really very good.

Note that private messaging isn't working yet since the redesign, but you can reply to any interesting posts. Here's a link

If a dude successfully accomplishes lactation, we want to see pictures or video. On second thought, no, no we don't.

I agree, my cat would not want to participate in the warm bath AT ALLL.

This is pretty useful for the many unpaired nerds/geeks out there. Personally, I think a good evening of self-love for the single could be had by doing suggestions #8, 6, 5, 4, 3, & 2 in that order.

That should have been " . . . call this study to the attention of . . . "

Seriously, someone needs to call this study to the IgNobel selection committee! This study would be a serious contender.

Very good advice! A very detremental environment for the enjoyment of hallucinogens.

@Technogamer1992: There is at least one of the Big Finish Audio Dramas featuring Paul McGann as Doctor Who you can listen to/download for free. It's called "Doctor Who: Invaders From Mars" and if you want to try it out, you can go to:

A Wooly Cephalopod? Would that make it Octoterrestrus hirsutis?

I've been interested in the DVD release of Dr. Who: The Movie for a few months now. I've heard some good things about Paul McGann's portrayal of the 8th Doctor in the Big Finnish Audio Productions etc., but till recently, I'd never had a chance to listen to any of those either. I ran across "Doctor Who: Invaders From

Keep trying! Maybe you just don't have enough data yet? Remember that one needs to obtain a statistically significant sample size. It's all for science! ;)
