Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks. 87 posts with "mole rat" (using the plain grep method). perl is still running.

cat * | grep -cirh "mole rat"

Echidna power! Though apparently the mole rats are in front. Cunning critters.

I've started reading a book, The Philosopher's Dog by Raimond Gaita. I suspect I will be recommending it, as I've been very impressed before with Gaita's philosophy and writing. I doubt I'll fault him on the subject of animals.

I don't think it was me. Anyway, I don't remember where that was. Did you try googling "scifi ship sizes" or somesuch?
