Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Wired picks their foot in mouth statements for 2007--firstly I encourage people to go out and be really stupid over the next few days so they have to retract.

Secondly, I love the comment (and subsequent revelations) from Watson.

Asteroid to hit Mars? I hope the rovers are okay.

Amazon's still pushing their one-click patent. I guess my boycott still stands.

Inflight internet to be filtered. No Skype, maybe, and no porn.

Hee.

Even if the timing had been planned, it couldn't have been better.

[Edit: I always think "Holmes" when I see "Watson", not "genome". Silly brain.]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yeah. The radio did this thing where "there's been a bombing" and then "she's been wounded" and then, "Whoa, I think she's dead, hold on, we'll waffle about it 20 minutes, yes okay she's really dead."

The Beeb World Service just took over, and they're pretty certain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well, crap. When I turned off the radio, it was still There's Been A Bombing.
