Wait a minute... Statue of Liberty... that was OUR planet!
Did you have to say that, ~Shard~? Now you've spoiled the surprise!~Shard~ said:Wait a minute... Statue of Liberty... that was OUR planet!
This is just as bad as when somebody told me Titanic sank before I saw the movie!

Sorry Doctor Q, you have my deepest, sincerest apologies. I'll be sure not to spoil the end of Star Wars Episode III for you. (You'll never guess how it ends!)

that's only if the elf wants to be found
I started reading some of the NatGeo about evolution - good stuff, but its going to take more than one sitting...

It is definitely in-depth, but worth the read I'm certain! Looking forward to finally getting to it this weekend...

Muahahahaha!! Same here.. the first 1/3 of the article was quite good. I expect the 2nd 1/3 to be just as good tomorrow morning.
Anyone ever read Larry Niven's Ring World? Aside from the Pack Protector weirdness, the diversity of the races of humans was pretty damn cool - especially since given no other real life forms, humans ended up diversifying into every niche in nature - giants, pigmy's, scavengers, hunters, etc....

I think this is where I learned the word "integral" from..
Ah, yes: Integral Trees
I guess I was 12.

I never have, but it sounds intriguing. Thanks fore the head's up on this, I think I'll try and find myself a copy.
There are three books in the series, Integral Trees is in the same universe, but not the same story line (I think).
The Sci-Fi channel is making a 4 hour mini series of it - which should be great. Can't wait to see how well they work in the Kzin and Speaker-to-animals The Ring World books are quite good, easy read, but I didn't like the Pack Protector stuff....but it didn't bother me that much to enjoy them

Yes, and I've even heard him speak about it at the UCLA Book Festival. That book was full of wonderful ideas - absolutely huge mountains, new methods of transportation, and of course rings to give us day and night. I remember the science more than the people.Mr. Anderson said:
