I remember one thing I learned: when speaking or writing in English, if the gender of the subject is not specified, you default to the masculine. Many people seem to have failed to learn this rule. I find it as annoying as people who use spell "lose" with two o's.
Fortunately liberals are aborting themselves out of existence, so we should be on the right track within a generation or so.
As do the chromosomes.
I was *so* hoping to see a RideBack.
Except that the rock was big enough to block his exit. Dying of thirst in a spider-infested catacomb doesn't sound like fun to me.
Am I the only person who saw this and thought "flux capacitor"?
Leclair was the victim, not the assailant. Williams was the "street vigilante".
He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!
@99TelepodProblems: The dinosaurs went extinct because they didn't have a space program. -- Niven or Clarke or one of those guys.
@Wunno Sev: I think those knobs were outlawed. They'd get caught on your cuffs and make you turn erratically. Not a good thing.
@Helvetica: Jack Whyte's _The Skystone_, book one of the Camulod Chronicles, describes the recovery of a meteor which is then forged into Excalibur. Not classic literature perhaps, but a good story nonetheless.
@vdpsc: If union members make $60K then they can afford to buy their own damn medical insurance.
@The_Sporean_Bob: Living/exercising in a de facto higher-g field *should* lead to greater muscle growth, but building a large enough centrifuge to test the hypothesis is probably not cost effective. When/if we ever get a significant population in space you may see some habitats specifically designed as "high-grav" environments for exercise hounds.
Does Wolverine still have the adamantium skeleton? I'd hate to see what Hulkification would do to him when coupled with a skeleton that *would NOT* change size to accommodate the added muscle mass!
Not to be a pedant...well, ok, to be pedantic, it's "femmes fatale", not "femme fatales". #avengers
