Ah, after a little re-reading, I realised noone will get why I'm so excited about this car.

The last one was more of a shoebox on wheels.

This one's a shoebox on wheels... with CLS!

Suitov cheerfully whistles The Soulforged. Recommended listening.
(Note: lyrics are "decent price", not "descent")

And Mutt is currently falling in luv with Epiclore's Northern Paladins. A laid-back voice for once, and accent! I can almost forgive the clacker exploding behind my eyes constantly.

*sticks tongue out at percussion section*

Really quite well drawn. *chuckles*

OMH totally amazing correspondences between the books of JK Rowling and the books of Nancy Stouffer!

Includes such shock horror coincidences as quill pen and parchment, characters dressed in tights and fleets of boats... and some more interesting correspondences, too.

I hardly think she can claim on the fantasy cliches like knocking three times on a wooden door, or magical otherworlds, or twists on existing sports. The main point of the argument deserved consideration, but it's somewhat drowned out.

Looking at the campaign homepage, she might want to be a little careful, as the makers of The Magic Roundabout probably have a case here. (Hmm? Hmm?)

Do I have to say how badly I want to make a tights-wearing charrie, just because some nit thinks they're copyrighted? *giggles*

Geordie version of the Lambton Worm

Fun linguistically, though not the complete story.

Passions
Across the week, Sue Nelson talks to scientists whose hobbies have influenced their scientific research.

3/5. Dr Kim Binsted.
Kim had always had a love for making people laugh and was part of the improvisation comedy team at school. When her interests in physics and maths took her into Artificial Intelligence she fell back on her comedy background to help her work on a few problems in computers. Now, having created a programme where computers can generate their own puns, she now works on a system that uses comedy to help children learn a new language - whilst still trying to fit in a little improv in her spare time.

Cue sharp alarm bells in SF fans' minds: see Jokester, a short by Isaac Asimov. (It's in Earth Is Room Enough, Slen.)

I cannot think of a less obscure thing to ask about that programme, is the only problem.

AHAHAHAHAHA.

*snickers* Sinfest = good stuff.

And there is a cat pooka running around EZ. *stares at it* Its pooka-ese isnt't quite as grandiose as Mai's from Monolith though. Damn but I need to write her humanoid again. It's a queenly bitch, but so rewarding.

In follow-up to the Asimov thing, guess what? It made it into the quiz, despite my noble intentions. Curses! *sg*

Harrison Ford fans catered to today. Sort of.

You know what I really love about the daily quiz?
The way it happily crows WRONG! when you miss a question. *snickers*

Mwehe! I didn't write the quiz script itself, unfortunately. Just the questions; something I'd like to do is have the capability to add explanations to the answers (eg "Nope - Belka did travel into space, but she wasn't the first dog to do so.")
