Quote for the Day

Turtles All The Way Down

   If it's in Dilbert, it has to be factual.

Lunar Eclipse

    It's science and it's a photograph.  You can't really argue with it, can you?

Flat Earth

   At last!  Scientific proof that the Earth is flat!  And it's turtles, all the way down!

Christmas Read for 2015

    This is going to be my Christmas read for 2015. Stay tuned.

RIP, Sir Terry Pratchett

    Without a doubt, my favorite "Light Fantasy" author.

Discworld - Collect them all

For some reason, Discworld books don't show up at the used-bookstore all that much. But I check every time I go there, and over the course of a year, I've snagged about 20 of them. Of which I've read about 8. . So I am naturally jealous that the XKCD bloke has the complete set, albeit only in "Kindle" format. FWIW, the books where the witches take center stage - Nanny Ogg, Granny Weatherwax, Magrat Garlick, etc. - are the ones that never show up used. Fortunately, the local library has a nice collection of Discworld books.
