OK, so here's a question for you...

Does Arthur C. Clarke get "futurist" credit (a la commsats) if they're specifically plagarizing his books, rather than the technology evolving indepenently?

Fun mix of science and conspiracy theory there. Much reccomended.

In other news: Tired, fairly happy, accidentally missed a Strike Force, and I think I pulled a muscle in my bad leg yesterday.

Also, I found my old guitar. I don't think I can still -play- my old guitar, but who knows?

Oh, Also pt. 2: X-men Legends 2 for the PSP so far is a ton of fun, and it's really neat to see how they translated the controls.

Theft of basic concept from a brilliant author? Check.
Handwaving because the author doesn't understand physics? Of course.
Ideal case approximations in said handwaving? More than I care to count.
Government Agency of questionable repute? Check.
Prior action of said agency we can call a test? You better believe it.
Tie in to ancient fraternity with reputation for secrecy? Check.
Bullshit symbolisim related to same? Why not, he's on a roll.
Apocalyptic prediction? He shoots and scores! Scratch my back with a hacksaw! [/Mike Lang]

Conspiracy theory at it's finest.

You wrote "I don't think I can still -play- my old guitar, but who knows?"

This begs the question: Could you play your old guitar before?

Actually, yes.

Not as well as I played drumset or violin before I had to give them up for various reasons, but servicably.
