I don't think many of those outfits qualify as "actual clothes."
Yes but... think of all the ACTUAL terrorist attacks that have been prevented by vigilance like this: The ones that are committed by terrorists who preface their attacks with tweets that they're going to "destroy America."
"I think most of us would be satisfied with living to 85 if we could be guaranteed that all those years would find us in good health." Yeah, sure. Dying is great. Let's all die. And why wait for 85? Why not sooner? Why not right now?
You first.
In the future, please do NOT presume to tell me what I'd be satisfied with, thankyouverymuch.
I'm not twelve and what is this?
Way to ruin aardvarks for all of us, cb.
Your authors have names? And there are people who have opinions about one author vs another? Opinions as in "give a shit"? Weird, man... totally weird.
You folks ranting with "What!!? He did it without asking permission??!!" should remember that a lot of non-verbal communication can and usually does go on during sex. So when a facial "happens," it's possible that it's totally by mutual agreement, even if nothing was spoken about it beforehand.
I refuse to believe that anyone has ever spoken the phrase "man cave." It just didn't happen, ever.
I love #7, about modern art. Like he just had to take time out to say "Don't let the fact that I'm an SF writer fool you folks; in some ways I'm just a crusty old fart!"
Numbers get big when you start with one and repeatedly double. OK.
Now WT goddamn F does that have to do with getting humans to Mars?
Yeah, agreed. This book is more opaque, scholar-ese gobbledygook of which many tons have already been published on the subject of SF.
Additional points off for "intergalactic terra nulls" (I think she means "alien worlds").
Let me know when an English translation of this book comes out. Meanwhile, very nice cover.
I've always liked the theory that we evolved to be furless _after_ we invented clothing. With clothing as an option, fur became a liability and evolved away. Perhaps we similarly evolved to stand upright after we invented bags, knapsacks and similar methods of carrying a lot of stuff. An upright posture would make using those things a lot easier and more efficient.
And by "just how damn hip you are," you mean "how much of a hopeless flaming dork you are," right?
If you squint your eyes and concentrate, it stops looking like a ghoulish reminder of 9/11, and starts looking like two skyscrapers sharing a hideous, flesh-consuming fungal growth.
Was it something we said?
"this NBC television actor"?? You owe an apology to actual NBC television actors. I believe the term you're looking for is "this quasi-human execrable buffoon."
"They haven't been tied to a single crash," is kind of a creepy and misleading way to put it. (Who want to be sitting in a plane when the pilot says "Oops, sorry folks! First time!") More to the point would be that interference from personal electronics has never been shown to cause the tiniest glitch in any aspect of an airplane's functioning, no matter how trivial. And while I don't know that that's true, Airlines should either show that it ISN'T true, or they should quit being such jerks.
So, you mean to say there isn't a five-word slogan that can fit every kid's situation? Well dang.
"and enforce intergalactic law..." Thank chripes we haven't had to suffer through that boner for all these decades of of reruns and spinoffs!
