More here. How the heck does the guy transport it from his home to the lake/river?

Got "tagged" by the fine folks at SF Signal. Remind me to start proofing their posts even more carefully. Heh.

Let's see...

-Start Copy-

It's very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)

Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.

After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!

Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!

Hey, one of my all-time favorite shows is returning, sort of. Same premise, more or less the same crew, slightly different format and direct to DVD. Presenting Mystery Science Theatre 3000 Mark 2.0!

"Naturally, naturally," agreed Magnus Ridolph. "However, let us view the matter from a different aspect. Let us momentarily forget that we are friends, neighbors, almost business associates, each acting only through motives of the highest integrity. Let us assume that we are strangers, unmoral, predatory."

Blantham blew out his cheeks, eyed Magnus Ridolph doubtfully. "Far-fetched, of course. But go on."

(Jack Vance, The Many Worlds of Magnus Ridolph)

Here's a great site that gives you interactive maps of several Roman catacombs (despite the warning labels, the site works with Mozilla Firefox, at least for me). Ah, underground tombs...many an hour in my misbegotten youth was spent robbing tombs...on Tekumel, not in our sphere of reality!)
