Occam's Ghost to Grant Hutchison.

This leads to an unexpected special effect, which was predicted by many reluctant cosmologists way back in 2004.

As the bannings/unbannings approach orthogonal symmetry resulting in isometric stasis, and begin to approach the viewer, a shift to the ultraviolet can be noted in the spectra of such objects.

This effect is known as the Blue Plait Special.

Ow! Ow! Owww! Brane freeze!

Your puns are having a chilling effect on my ability to cognate; my mental gears have become clogged with the iced latte of your wit.

A very short serious moment - really? I didn't know Ellison was from Painesville. That's way cool.

Scary fact of the Day

Results of a national poll show that 78% of Americans cannot explain the difference between the top and strange quarks.

I would agree with you if you'd said something else.

Paul

Love your Avatar - but how do I use it in an office that's gone paperless?

I've found a use for paperclips, and boy are my ears clean now...

Not fair. I have been in love with Paul's avatar since way back when it was still a piece of rope. I didn't care how long it was, or whether it was a bit frayed about the ends, we were meant for each other. Even now, when I had hoped for a tape dispenser and got a stapler, I didn't complain. At least it meant we could still be attached.

Something else.

By the way, Mike, your avatar is a little undercooked; its still pink in the middle.

Local Man Sues Dry Cleaner for Damaging His Heinlein Persona

Mr. Palmer Eldritch of Bay Village, Ohio, has initiated a lawsuit against Harry's 1-Hour Martinizing, also of Bay Village.

In the suit, Eldritch claims that when picking up his Heinlein persona after its yearly cleaning it was damaged beyond repair. "Every year I take my Heinlein persona in for a good cleaning and general overhaul," Eldritch said. "Deep cleansing, recalibration of the gyros, stuff like that. What came back was a wreck." Noting that he always feels incompetent while the persona is missing, the discovery of extensive damage was almost too much to bear. "I couldn't even bring myself to beat him up, or challenge him to a duel. I'm reduced to a lawsuit. A lawsuit. I couldn't even conn my car back home; I had to call my wife. Thank heaven she's still competent. And a redhead, too."

Harry Palmer, owner of the establishment, said Eldritch is full of baloney. "He's full of baloney," Palmer said. "Every year he brings this schmatte in, I try to patch it up, sew the blown seams, hone the quick retorts, the whole Megillah. I check everything. Hell, I'm not some specialized insect, or something, I give him the works, the gonif."

Eldritch says he has no current plans to settle, but fully intends to bring the case to court. "Man, I'd just like to shoot him out the airlock, but the way I feel right now, I'll just let the sharks do him in."

Wife Donates Husband's Body to Science

Mildred Pierce of Medina, Ohio, donated her husband's body to science last week. "I know it's what Harry wanted," she said. "He was always so caught up in the latest research, he would have wanted to add his own small bit to the advancement of mankind."

But researchers were surprised to discover that when she dropped him off at the Apropos Research Center, Mr. Pierce was still very much alive. "Um. It was a nice gesture on Mrs. Pierce's part, but we can only take dead people," Dr. Roger That explained.

"Well," Mrs. Pierce replied, "Do I have to do everything?"
