Re: Brink Of War Potions can be hard to do right, since often you have to add Independent and Usable By Others. Typically that prices them out. Tweaking the special effects to take those advantages off can be just as hard--you might have an alchemist fiddling with his chemistry set in the middle of combat, for example.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Try sending them to the White House instead, just to see what happens.

Re: Musings on Random Musings You know, she's already suspicious of the internet. Must you prove her right?

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Aren't there a whole bunch? I'm reading them out of the recently-republished collected first trilogy... hang on. Yeah, there's ten BC books listed in the front of this thing.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings It turns out that WD-40 is a very good insecticide, which is great, because I have small kids in the house. And according to Shadowpup, many spray insecticides are... WD-40, plus poison. Some, however, are basically nerve gas.

Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... The Black Company by Glen Cook. I read this once a long time ago--so long ago, apparently, that I didn't remember most of it. It's possible I didn't finish it back then, since at the time I don't think I had developed much tolerance for gritty. Cook has an interesting writing style--it seems very spare; there is little descriptive text and he often glosses over seemingly major plot events, so it's a little surprising the book is as long as it is. I've started in on the sequel (Shadows Linger) already.

Re: Musings on Random Musings It just makes the movie seem that much more awesome.

Re: Musings on Random Musings That's funny, I was just thinking about Airplane! the other day. There is no way in hell that today's Hollywood could ever make a movie that made fun of gays, ebonics, terrorism, and pedophilia. No way at all.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Saw parts of Superman Returns on tv the other day. I am sad that I missed large sections of it. It looked like a fun ride.

Re: [Horror] Sometimes it's the little things... Some caterpillars can spin webs. Some secrete poison. Just sayin'.
