Damn it, just when I thought nothing could be worse than an Ewok flower girl...

Time for a mini rant : I’m still somewhat upset over the whole “what I’ve told you so far in Known Space is not what it seems, here’s what really happened” started in Crashlander and continued in the Fleet of Worlds series. I also found his collaboration works to be harder to read compared to his earlier works.

Well, I don’t see why not. After all, they already do a urine test, right?

If “longest pee” is ever an entry in the Guinness Records, then...

All I know is I’m not waiting behind him at a urinal... :)

You planetist!

who will have been peeing into a funnel for 120 hours straight.

From his blog :

Funny, I was reading your other comments and was wondering the same thing. I don’t think there’s any need to continue this conversation since you’ve stopped even trying to present your point of view and just moved on to personal attacks. You have a nice weekend.

I’m not saying you should start planning your elaborate prank right now, but it’s certainly a possibility.

People stop speeding when they see a cop enforcing the speed limit. Yet you argue that a traffic cop enforcing the speed limit is not a deterrent to speeding?

You gave one example why laws against speeding does not stop speeders where you are. I asked you if anyone is enforcing it and issuing tickets. I’m assuming here that if you get stopped often with hefty fines often you would not speed. Are you telling me otherwise?

If there is a patrol car issuing tickets, would there be so many speeders? Why is it moronic if it deters others from doing the same thing?

Let’s take a less extreme deterrent. Do you think more people would drive above the speed limit if there is nono enforcement? In this case (speeding), would you say deterrents work?

Throwing someone in jail when they don’t pay child support doesn’t get anyone their money but it warns other potential deadbeat parent that you don’t mess with a court ordered settlement. Same thing for Greece.

The correct answer is, of course, “Cookie all mine. No share cookie.”

You do it like how everyone else is doing it - by stealing recycling copper plumbing of course!

I’d start by questioning old ladies with shovels.

“You don’t need a super crazy zoom, but look at all these fun things people are doing with it”.

It all depends on the taste and texture.
