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

Aha! Maglev trains are the trains that are levitated off the track by magnetic interaction. I want to try one out.

dcp, by "their" you mean Penn & Teller? I'm still confused, since their video game is called "Smoke & Mirrors" which doesn't fit.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ita, yes to Penn & Teller, but it's not the title of the game, it's a "feature," a game-within-the-game.

Or so I was told. It sounds more like a prank, of the "Are people really dumb enough to do this?" variety.

This Bronco game is going to give me a heart attack! So close!

One of the partners in my office emailed to ask if I would order an $1,800 book for our office.

WTF? I'm pretty sure law offices don't have much use for rare first editions of literature from previous centuries. Did he hear this book tells how to raise the dead? Because that never ends well...
