Yay, Theo. Curse of Chalion is good fun, and the next book, Paladin of Souls, is somehow way better. It's fabulous. Same world, though the stories don't intersect very much. There's a third out now, but in HC so I'll be waiting awile.
Either I was very distracted in 1998, or I've just forgotten that there was a Godzilla made that year.
I have the soundtrack, which is pretty decent when I'm in a certain mood, but never did see the movie.
Happy birthday to ( deepbreath) OuisejenGodPaulandJulianna!
and now for the hivemind question . In the 70's there were at least 2 different fake interviews with popular figures and all the answers to the questions were popular song lyrics. for example: Nixon was interviewed and when asked how he was feeling - the answer to the question was " on top of the world"( carpenters) and when Mr. Jaws was interviewd one of the answers was " why can't we be friends , why can't we be friends" ( war) . anyone got anymore info and even where they might be found?
sadly, even at 2am I expect an answer from the hovemind RIGHT NOW. really, even the hivemind needs to sleep. best dreams.
Happy Birthday to juliana!
And belated birthday wishes to Ouise, and jengod and Paul.
Happy Birthday, juliana!
And Happy Belated Birthdays to Ouise, and jengod and Paul.
Also, Happy Anniversary to Disneyland, which opened 50 years ago today.
DavidS will be able to answer your question, beth! I can remember those records, and in fact IIRC the "artist" did those records from the 50s on... alas, I can't remember the name, of course. You might look through the song listings for Dr. Demento collections as I'm sure some of them ended up in there!
In other news: gronk.
I hope people allergic to shellfish aren't allergic to chitosan.
I'd guess no since the article refers to chitosan as the second most ubiquitous substance on earth -- they'd be allergic to a lot more than shellfish if chitosan was the allergen.
I thought iodine was the main allergen in shellfish.
I know they've had those bandages for a bit and are using them in Iraq, but I had no idea they were shrimp. That's both cool, and "damn, another way to denude the ocean."
Well, given all the frozen and canned shellfish on the market, maybe it'll mostly just make more use of the creatures already being removed from the ocean.
Probably not, huh.
They've been using that stuff for people with cartilage problems for ages. I know my dad's taken it for years for his knees.
