You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

Jesse! That's just like your guy-from-Melrose-Place thing. What are we going to do with you?

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

Good news from science:

Explosives are another good way to produce shock waves. In this case, the energy is stored in an unstable chemical form—often in nitrates—and can be released in about a microsecond. Ironically, most chemical explosives contain less energy per unit mass than ordinary table butter, but fortunately the butter is too stable to explode.

From a real interesting (if you like geeky science stuff) article on shock waves. Plus lots of cool pictures.

Also, more pictures of nuclear tests. These are more traditional than the ones posted earlier. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's always a good place to start.

Melanie Griffith's breasts are scaring the hell out of me.

Can I sign up for this program?

There are lots of rumors about JRM and the man who kind of adopted him.
