The way to grab something from issue for which downloading is disabled looks like this (for bash shell on either unix-like or Cygwin on Windows):
curl -o 'page_#1.jpg' '[image.issuu.com][1-99].jpg'

One of my favourite late-period Hammer films is "Vampire Circus"
[wopsploitation.blogspot.com]
It's got:
Darth Vader (David Prowse)
Cool Art
Most gratuitously exposed green vulva in non-XXX or NC-17 history
Creepy dwarves!
Hyperrreal colour exposure!

Yeah, how'd you miss this one io9? It's only like possibly the single greatest connection between Pringles and SF. Gene Wolfe *owned* SF in the 1970s and 1980s:

LP: Along those lines, is it true you invented the machine that makes Pringles potato chips?
GW: I developed it. I did not invent it. That was done by a German gentlemen whose name I've forgotten for years. I developed the machine that cooks them. He had invented the basic idea, how to make the potato dough, pressing it between two forms, more or less as in a wrap-around, immersing them in hot cooking oil, and so forth and so on. And we were then called in, I was in the engineering development division, and asked to develop mass production equipment to make these chips. And we divided the task into the dough making/dough rolling portion, which was done by Len Hooper, and the cooking portion, which was done by me, and then the pickoff and salting portion, which was done by someone else, and then the can filling/can sealing portion which was done by a man who was almost driven insane by the program. Because he would develop a machine, and he would have it almost ready to go, and they would say "Oh, instead of 300 cans a minute, make it 500 cans a minute." And so he would have to throw out a bunch of stuff, and develop the new machine, and when he got that one about ready, they'd say "make it 700 cans a minute." And they almost put him in a mental hospital. He took his job very seriously and he just about flipped out.

There's virtually limitless noodling out there, but it interests hardly anyone except similarly aligned fellow noodlers.

You do know that this is just tempting the Zombie Lion Apocalypse to happen, right?
Without telescopes, the Babylonian astronomers could have had no idea that there *were* asteroids and dwarf planets.

As usual, 2000AD was there first:
So sick of all these Planet Firsters for Pluto. You want to reclassify Pluto as a "Planet"? Fine. Then you'll also have to reclassify a bunch of the asteroids as "Planets" as well, because many of them are in the same size ballpark and have their own satellite(s). And then you'll have to classify many of the Trans-Neptunian objects as "Planets" (Eris is nearly a third-LARGER than Pluto after all). And so then you'd have not nine planets but 40-something. And you want to make schoolchildren learn the names of 40-something planets (plus their moons)? That is exactly the mess we were in by the middle-late 19th century, which is why we decided to go all strict again on what gets called a "Planet". Planet-Firsters just want to torture schoolkids.
p.s.:
You're right. Let's close down all the universities now.
Arch Int Med is great, but don't ask them to do astronomy.
You hear that Mir Creo?... That is the sound of whooshing... It is the sound of the death of irony... Goodbye, Mir Creo.
your immune system would never attack its own army of red blood cells
That's actually not true - the immune system is one of the main regulators of RBC concentration, and inappropriate sensitisation to RBC membranes is found in a bunch of anemia-causing diseases.

They appear sedentary because when they venture far out of their range, we kill and eat them. We have filled all the available primate-friendly niches. Effectively, all our large relatives are surrounded by moats of us.

Know what else the Greeks invented? εἰρωνεία eirōneía AKA feigned ignorance.
The evil boss Robot is "Archos"? Seriously? Like, humanity's AI nemesis evolves from an early pre-Ipod French mp3 player? A hyper-evolved Rockbox run amok?
