Coffee: Oh dear lord, Fay, that video is awesome.

I want to start randomly saying, "Where the hell is my crumpet?" It should be the new shorthand for "Shut up, you pretentious literary ass," seriously.

Did we know that there's an Anathem Wiki?

I'm poking through the Earth-Arbre connections page, and I'm not agreeing with all of it. I can see where they're getting most of the definitions, but a lot of them just aren't lining up for me.
