A budding historian to top it all off. Oh, and British. Been lurking around here since 2011, don't let the recently made account deceive you.

Yeah, 'head' of a company is really more than a title anyway, when one looks at it in the practical sense.

Ah, fair enough then. I knew of his involvement with the company beforehand, just didn't think he ever headed it up.

Head of ILM in what sense? Because the CEO is Lyn Brennan...

True, but one is less dependent on your heritage. Gender is certainly entirely important to the individual, but is not a hallmark of family.

I think that's quite a good way to look at it: the biological elements of race are of those who created you, less so with gender.

I think that a large part of the argument would be that gender is assigned after conception, whereas race is a matter of heritage.

You find yourself torn between empathising with and reviling them. Actions speak louder than words, I suppose.

How rotationary? Trying to cash in on the magic here.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Perhaps, but rotationary lacks the comic effect. Priorities, priorities...

How revolutionary.

I'm pretty sure it's Emerald, if not it's an oddly skinned Ruby or Sapphire.

I personally disagree, though I can see where you're coming from: adapting a radio play into a book can be a difficult process.

I know: how he manages to link all of his timelines within the context of time dilation is incredibly impressive.

I read it recently, never before has he displayed such skill for characterisation: it's a much more human novel then what one would expect.

Fantastic list, I would also add Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space: a fantastic hard(ish) sci-fi for any interested.

In time. Stoners aren't the swiftest of assassins...

It's a conspiracy, really. You weren't meant to find out until it was too late. I'm so sorry, I hope you're not leaving behind any family...

Basically, 4/20 is a time and a date which is associated for weed because of an old high school tradition.

The 420 thing? Marijuana, my friend. The Devil's Lettuce can be a confusing beast indeed.

Did Jesse Pinkman attempt to melt someone in it?
