The usual dump of links from the depths of ye olde internets:
- Building a Lego-powered Submarine – Pretty impressive little homebrew experiment here…
- List of stories set in a future now in the past – It’s a long list.
- Tuco uses the Infinity Stones in the MOST efficient way – This works surprisingly well…
- Fallout Parody – Pitch perfect parody, but the ending really seals the deal…
- The Sperm and the Egg – No comment.
- Kemper’s Review of Wizard and Glass on Goodreads has this great Stephen King anecdote:
King’s appearance in an auditorium on the K-State campus had several hundred people in it, and it took place on a foggy night. When he took the stage, King noted that it was spooky weather, like one of his novels. Then he started speculating that it was the kind of night that a homicidal escapee from a mental asylum might be running around in. The crowd laughed. King continued that the maniac was probably out in the parking lot, checking cars to see if any were unlocked. The crowd loved it. Stephen King was telling us a creepy story on a foggy October night. How cool was that? King kept talking, adding details about the maniac and the knife he picked up somewhere. The crowd grew a bit uneasy but was still chuckling.
Then Uncle Steve started in on asking us if we were sure, REALLY sure, that we had locked our cars. You thought you did, but do you actually remember doing it? By then, the crowd had fallen silent. By the time King described the maniac finding an unlocked car, everyone was on the edge of their seat. Say what you will about the man, he took a brightly lit auditorium full of laughing cheering people and creeped the living shit out of everyone in it in about two minutes. And when I left, I checked my backseat before getting it, and I wasn’t the only one in the parking lot who did.
That’s all for now…
