@BlueBeard: The Closer didn't get cancelled but they did kind of cliffhanger his character's resignation.

@RtFusion: The Ev3nt has become "MST3K-the home game" for us. junior-falcons and I watch just so that we can mock the horribleness.

@der gugelhupf: The last time we were there the new elephant exhibit wasn't quite open yet but it looked beautiful. I do hope they can do something just as nice for the big cats.

I'm so saddened to find that this law wasn't named for Gregory Benford.

@devianaut: Oh, crap. I wore number 27 on my high school soccer team.

If "The Story of Your Life" isn't the greatest sf short story ever written it surely must be in the top five. Combining linguistics with chaos theory on top of a brilliant story structure that mirrors an alien conception of reality alongside an emotional punch that is unmatched in most entertainment - I read this…

@Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Really? What's the title? I'd like to read that.

@angusm: I thought about this more after I posted this morning and realized that Kim Stanley Robinson and probably David Brin would be up in that corner.

@Nayrlladnar: That you're an extremist? ;)
