That's the Witches series, right? I think the second book is actually called Lasher. It's such a shame too, because the first book was pretty excellent, then the second becomes utter crap almost immediately.

I would absolutely agree with the Well-World books being a good example. However, as I remember it at least the non-consentual body modification was done by the antagonist. It was a facet of is megalomania. If I remember correctly he liked his women to have long horse-tails . . .

Good one!!!

I'm not a big Kindle fan either, however, at least Amazon does make a free Kindle App for other platforms. But really guys can't we just settle on e-pub or something? I've got three e-reader apps on my iPhone now: iBooks, Stanza, and Nook. Do I want to get the Kindle App so I can have four? Two of which would only…

You know, there are other birth control methods than abstinence nowadays.

You might want to look into the evolutionary concepts of "kin selection" and "group selection." In animals, some members of a family or group forgo reproduction in order to facilitate or support the reproduction of others.

I think it was awesome that he pulled it off wearing brightly colored Converse High-Tops that are featured prominently in the scene!

"Doctor Who: Stone Cold Killa"

Don't tell anyone . . .

Ah Ha! That was it. Regeneration must be quite confusing. Although, thinking about it, I'd take that aspect of it gladly . . .

Here we go, let's see if I can get it to imbed for you.

I'm sure that would be "stunning"!

Yeah, Gwen definitely was trying to explore the Bi side in that Series 1 episode with the sex-gas creature. The girl in question was just about dripping pheromones so it was explained as unusual behavior caused by that. However, that scene gave us the great Captain Jack line, "You people and your quaint categories."

I agree with Serenada. It's typical in the gay community when there is an age difference to refer to the younger partner as a "boy" "your boy" or "his boy." It doesn't mean someone underage when used in that context.

Me too on the buffalo burgers! They are big shaggy tasty creatures. Ruby Tuesday restaurants have one on the menu, but be careful to ask for the Bison Burger, or you'll end up with a buffalo-chicken sandwich . . .

I guess it's also worth mentioning that the largest living fish species is a shark. This gentle giant is the whale shark. It is a filter feeder that eats small organisms, sort of like a baleen whale. The largest confirmed individual whale shark measured in at 41.5 feet in length.

Fortunately, you need not be afraid of the huge mouth on the basking shark. They use that giant funnel to feed on small organisms that they filter out of the water. So essentially they are like a baleen whale in that regard, they use their gills in place of the baleen a whale has. You are far too large to be on the…

The asteroid-ship would also have the advantage of having thick layers of rocky shielding to protect against radiation and collisions with small objects. The latter would have serious kinetic energy if you were accelerated up to a fraction of light-speed.

The oil sands have the same problem as the "heavy oil" in the Mideast, it takes a huge amount of energy to extract the oil from them. So maybe they will be economically viable someday, but oil that comes from these sands will be very expensive. Also, extraction of that oil is expected to be more environmentally…

Me either, but on the other hand, I haven't been on a ship for months . . .
