The news is filled with mad science today.

Microbes able to produce nanowires suitable for transmitting electric currents/constructing nanotech hardware.

Shadowrun, anyone?

Just as long as I don't have to end up dealing with Cyber-zombies or any other nasty junk from it, sure.

*hides plans* Oh, no, of course not.

[makes mental note to accelerate R&D schedule for lightsabre construction]

Hmm, actually that'll be damned handy even without shadowrun-esque applications.

(Yes, I really am doing work at that scale that might take advantage of it.)

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can imagine several different engineering fields drooling about this.

[alathaniel.livejournal.com]

And there was a great disturbance in the force. As if many engineering undergrads just realized "I have to take quantum physics now? Fuck ..."

(Weaklings.)

Oh come on, the people who wrote Shadowrun, had a pretty realistic view of where our technology was headed. Now if only I could figure out a way to bring the magic back. *wicked grin*

May I metaquote this?

Re: *sporfle*

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Oh, geez. How am I going to clean sporfle out of the carpet?

Re: *sporfle*

[neversremedy.livejournal.com]

Baking soda and warm water. Does it every time.

Re: *sporfle*

[alathaniel.livejournal.com]

metaqoute? Sure, why not. (but I do want an explanation.)

Re: *sporfle*

[neversremedy.livejournal.com]

I found your comment funny. I'm going to copy it and post it in metaquotes to share with others who will likely find it equally humorous. I will receive many comments in my inbox about how funny you are, and thus I am making a humble sacrifice on my part. ;)

Do not be surprised if you have new friends on your flist. Ahem.

Re: *sporfle*

[alathaniel.livejournal.com]

Ah. Eh, go ahead. It's not like I put anything I'm not willing to have shared in here anyway.

Re: *sporfle*

I seee...

As long as they don't bother inventing the part where the guy who sent us on the Run screws us out of the money.

Because that happened every time.

Consequently I hate Shadowrun.

[neversremedy.livejournal.com]

*laughs* The last game I played, I was working for the guy who screwed a team over. He hired two teams to do one job, the first not knowing about the second. The first completed the job, the second killed the first team, and collected the reward, then I joined the second team. *wicked grins*

See, that's just bad GMing. :D

I love that the dude's name is Dr. Lovely. Lovely's lab.... HEEHEHE.
