    This reminds me of a store in San Francisco that has two legs sticking out of the windows above the door. That store had great wigs.

    @LittleDragon: Oddly enough I didn't think they looked like tentacles...I thought they looked like dragon tails and couldn't figure out why the building had so many dragon asses sticking out the window. Bad case of (methane) gas or what?

    @LittleDragon: Works with pig shit. Can't see why not dragons. It would be more high octane, of course. Like in 'Guards! Guards!' by Terry Pratchett.

    So the giant squid got time to visit all those places but for a short appearance in Watchmen it didn't have any? Bastard.

    "Do it?"

    Dan, I'm not some Republic Serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my masterstroke if there was the slightest chance of you affecting it's out come?

    I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

    This is brilliant, and reminds me an awful lot of The Dunwich Horror.

    Reminds me a little of the indoor grass carpet from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Alwsys thought that would be way cool.

    @steam23: Although that wouldn't be practical for living with one of Heinlein's other favorites: cats.

    So they've killed a bunch of trees to make a statement about how forests are important?


    They seem to like forests, but all the programs are about Bad Stuff that happens to people in them (aha, do we see their true agenda? forests are bad, m'kay?) Why no showing of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?


    They've made a movie set, as mentioned above -- something that happens pretty often in L.A.


    And the Romans were big on bringing nature into urban areas. If they didn't have room for a garden, they'd paint a fresco of one. If they had a garden, they'd have frescoes to extend it, plus build fake grottoes with waterfalls. They'd have rooms in the middle of the house that were full of greenery.


    In conclusion: meh.

    "It's a bit sad to contemplate that forests in 100 years may be exactly like this: Remnants of great trees, stored indoors."


    This makes no sense, we already know that the better off we are as a society the more hypothetical value we place on invaluables like 'nature.' Given current trends there's no reason to belive our desire to protect nature as a society or a planet will go anywhere but up.
