Rather than calling them "cracks," I like to refer to it as "cratering." I said it survived millions of miles of space, but I didn't mean "undamaged"... Seriously speaking, I don't think non-scientists appreciate just how damaging the environmental conditions on Earth really are, cosmically...

I don't wear jewelry -- I don't care for it. That said, my wife got me a wedding ring with a band of meteorite worked into it. It's the only thing I wear. I am reasonably sure it will survive regular contact with water, but I still take it off every time I shower. I like to muse about the fact...

Well, cancer can go naughty word itself. Naughty word itself right in the other naughty word!

That's what I always say! The mob! Or, as I believe they prefer to be called nowadays, a company in the financial sector.

Came here to say this. John Reese got a new life from Harold Finch, and repaid him exactly in the end. As he said, he was dead when Harold found him, and in giving him a job, he gave him a new purpose which he was now able to fulfill in a satisfying way. And I was worried about the series...

When I moved from an on-site Data Center job to a work-from-home Data Center job, my exercise went way down. But I have a two-year-old, so I am still kept plenty busy chasing after her.

I really, really enjoyed the first book of the Belgariad. I enjoyed the rest, but the first one was excellent -- of course it was, he'd been shopping it around to publishers for years! Anything you work that long on will be a peak example of your skill; e.g. "1408", which was the story Steven...

Listen, we are in an era where there are people who read Thieves' World, see the characters are basically telling you they're the bad guys, and then the reader asking, "Well, why can't I do that?"

My daughter started part-time preschool this week. She was there just about 3 hours Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday night she was breathing loudly while asleep. Yesterday she was stuffy and developed a fever by nighttime. I just got back from the doctor -- she has a virus. TWO DAYS! SHE WAS AT...

This is EN World! You can't tell me what to do! It's got to be safer than when I injected bleach a few years ago!
