I just finished reading that wank, and sit here boggled. Though I now need to make an icon that says, "Anakin Skywalker. He knows batshit crazy."
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.

I'm going to arrive at Comic Con on Saturday, but won't be selling books because I have none to sell. I could order some author copies overnighted, but then I'd have to deal with money, and change, and taxes.
I have fans?
It's at 2pm California time, Lee.

Bugger me for a lark, but that was funny.

Is there a vendor there you could tag along with? I'm sure anybody selling your book would be happy to bring a few cases along if they had the author there to sign it.
HATE SPEECH! HATE SPEECH!!!!1! Don't make me hit you with a harrassment suite.
So who here has heard of Norman Borlaug? I hadn't.
He Only Saved a Billion People
It's a trifecta much bigger and rarer than an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony. Only five people in history have ever won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal: Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel ... and Norman Borlaug.
Norman who? Few news organizations covered last week's Congressional Gold Medal ceremony for Borlaug, which was presided over by President Bush and the leadership of the House and Senate. An elderly agronomist doesn't make news, even when he is widely credited with saving the lives of 1 billion human beings worldwide, more than one in seven people on the planet.
Borlaug's success in feeding the world testifies to the difference a single person can make. But the obscurity of a man of such surpassing accomplishment is a reminder of our culture's surpassing superficiality. Reading Walter Isaacson's terrific biography of Albert Einstein, I was struck by how famous Einstein was, long before his role in the atom bomb. Great scientists and humanitarians were once heroes and cover boys. No more. For Borlaug, still vital at 93, to win more notice, he would have to make his next trip to Africa in the company of Angelina Jolie.
