Stylish! would go well with [hatsofmeat.com]

Hear hear! Three cheers for eradicate the superfluous redundancies once more again!

That's an excellent idea, and I'll probably adopt it. But I don't look forward to changing my password every three months.

LOL! I guess so. Might even be true both ways.

Good idea, but how about something a bit more positive, like "Available"?

I'll defer to you on Footfall, but I was not commenting on that. I was just adding Ringworld to the list.

Artificial solar flares, guided by the superconducting grid under the Ringworld floor were certainly part of the system. But in the first book, the Lying Bastard got blasted by an X-Ray LASER.

Snakes with two heads are surprisingly common. They just don't last long in nature. But many zoos have one...

The linked article says that the links are stainless steel. But that's probably for durability, not aesthetics - I have seen some very nice rust patterns!

X-Ray LASERs were also part of the Ringworld defense system.

Thank you for the details. Clearly, I have to watch the series again!

"The reason that most fluorescent lighting is visible, while black light is not, is the hazy white on the outside of the fluorescent bulb. The bulb is coated with phosphors."

It has been years since I watched the series, and I may need an update. But didn't Ben drag the fellow with the leg brace into a pond to bring him back and killed all the fish? Hmm. Perhaps reviving large/complex animals like humans takes so much life force that only another human can supply it...

A minor correction - "Carnivale: Ben Hawkins has the power to bring people back from the dead, but it comes with a price: one person of Hawkins' choosing must die in exchange for the life."

No love for Elagabalus, one of the worst Roman Emperors ever (from 218 to 222)?

Johnny Human Torch!

Indeed. The AOL virus certainly caused my mailbox to break out in install disks.

No love for Iron Sky?

They'll never take you up on it. The grosser that it looks, the more page hits that they get!
