    ....Billy Collins?
    So like, some famous poet opens up a very Samuel Beckett-esque psychic cult?
    Japan, I'm confused.

    The same guy who wrote 20th Century Boys wrote another amazing manga called "Monster". Naoki Urasawa also wrote the amazing "PLUTO". This guy can't do me any wrong!!!

    Rediciolous rumour. Uttery nonsense spewed from a random person on the internet with no credability at all.


    On the other hand, I can exclusively tell you all they were dropped because they are working on Nike Air McFly to be released next year!

    Did io9 go back to the weird non-linear message system?


    How does it pick which discussions to highlight? There's only five posts so far here... why does it need to start condensing the discussion?

    I heard that Wildberry Pop-Tarts were discontinued because they reminded people of 9/11.
