Frank Herbert's Dune. I guess I am still in a nostalgic mood. I am revisiting another old favorite of mine.

The Fridge / Rats get infrared vision
« on: September 15, 2013, 09:09:43 PM »
I remember a news article from a few years back which described a similar procedure for detecting visual light in rats. I am glad to see that the technology is improving from the rather crude attempts that were being tested a few years ago. It will be interesting to see how this technology is applied over the next several years.

Petrie in his tryout for the role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:
Petrie: So you're a killer?
Sharptooth: Sir, yes sir!
Petrie: Then let me see your war face!
Sharptooth: Sir?
Petrie: You got a war face! AAAAAAAAHH! That's a war face, let me see your war face!
Sharptooth: AAAAAAAAHH!
Petrie: So you're a killer?

The Party Room / The "Would You Rather" Game!

I would rather eat something delicious. My heart rate tends to skyrocket when I am emerged in warm water, which interestingly does not happen when I take warm showers. :unsure:
Would you rather live during the apex of a civilization or its decline? (Bonus points if you know which film this question comes from.)

Cosmos: A Personal Voyage
This television series has been a favorite of mine ever since I was introduced to it during my teenage years. Despite some of the science no longer being quite up-to-date (which is understandable - it was produced 33 years ago), it remains an excellent primer into the basics of fundamental scientific concepts. Whenever I am exhausted or worn down (like I am now) I find that this series never ceases to inspire and re-energize me.

Cera uses CHARGE. It’s super effective! (Perhaps I should lay off the Pokemon games for a while)

LBT Fanfiction / Earning Restitution
« on: September 13, 2013, 12:39:54 PM »
Wow, I can't believe I haven't read this story until now. 
This is very well written and it is an enjoyable read. I especially like your characterization of Pterano and his internal struggles with his emotions and the memories of the past. It humanizes (er.. um... dinosaurizes?) him to a much greater extent that what is typically found in the fanfictions that I have read. I eagerly await your next installment.
