If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

NYTimes readers speak out!

To the Editor:

I agree with Brooke Shields that Tom Cruise is not an expert on postpartum depression.

The building I was in had stickers, but I think they'd either run out or given up by the time we got there. It was a madhouse.

I'm going to be a re-enactor myself within 5 years, aren't I? I'm doomed.

Come to the dark side....

You're the second person who's said that to me today on this very topic.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So does she, FTR.

Some of the colonial-era gowns from yesterday were just glorious. I don't see myself ever going Victorian, but I like the colonial look almost as much as the Regency, and it's probably a better fit for my figure.

And play with weapons (those pictures are on my home computer)...

At least one of the redcoats yesterday was a woman, which I was happy to see, because I was afraid the two-X chromosome thing would preclude me from dressing up and playing soldier, which is half of what's sucking me into this.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Green jacket and a Baker rifle for Susan, I think.

Nope. Rev War and Civil War both had female soldiers. Some who cross-dressed and pretended to be men, some who didn't (at least in Civil War, don't know about Rev).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because my dark side is fun and full of light sticks and fruity drinks.

The dark side is very enticing. Particularly when it comes in such close proximity to ChiKat's bosom.

10,000 mpg:

LONDON, England (CNN) -- An eco-car that can travel the world using a fraction of the electricity it takes to power a light bulb has been unveiled by its British creators.

The hydrogen-powered Ech2o needs just 25 Watts -- the equivalent of less than two gallons of petrol -- to complete the 25,000-mile global trip, while emitting nothing more hazardous than water, the UK's Press Association reported.

But with a top speed of 30mph, the journey would take more than a month to complete, even if the car was driven flat out with no pit-stops.
