"Who ya calling a nerfherder, princess?" Leader of the nerd herd, I know. I own it.

Why is it tv shows and movies always include FTL travel? (faster than light for you non nerds) Everyone assumes someday we'll be able to go that fast. And not to knock all those future scientist out there, but I just don't think it will ever happen. It's just beyond my comprehension. Like the Flatlanders. Read Flatland by Edwin Abbott. Or ask me for a summary sometime. I don't really feel like explaining right now. Really you should just read it.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Farscape, Battlestar all of them...... FTL travel.

Minorly distracted mid post by talk of crazy internet stalker girl. It makes me think about the internet. And what it's become. This tool. This convenience. This crazy anonymous world of anything goes. Anyone else remember bulletin boards? Where you had to type in the phone number of the server you wanted to connect to. Anyone else remember playing LORD? Legend of Red Dragon. Wow. Email was such a big deal back then. I can't stop smiling thinking about it. I kinda miss it.
