I don't disagree that we should focus on earth first, however - Tons of amazing technology has come out of funding for space-related activities, and I believe we should also continue working towards the goal of propagation of our species throughout the stars, if nothing more than for the potential of the incredibly useful technology that might come out of that pursuit.

A real laundry digger.

Screw Mars, we should really re-focus onto floating cities on Venus.

The Brain Organoids dislike this.

Not at first they didn't, The vibrator was invented because DRs kept getting tired from all the constant finger-blasting.

I mean, we could, if we would fund space stuff better.

That is the exact reason I'm leaving the US... Can't afford these damned $1500/month rent prices after insane medical expenses.

Guess I'm back to the drawingboard on where to go though, haha.

Uhg, this is tough to hear. Was considering migrating to New Zealand.

Not a fan of wasps at all...

However, I've a friend who had been absolutely MOBBED by cicada's this year, said it was a nightmare because it was so loud.

Sent him this image and told him he just needs to cultivate hundreds of wasps and he'll be good next time around. :D

Mars is a terrible planet for humans, should refocus and live in floating cities on Venus instead.

That explains the episodic nature of it, thanks for that!!

iirc he might have put it out on cracked.com before he dropped it into a book, but that was before I had gotten into it.

I'd also love to see the first book revisited as like, a 3-4 part mini-series... Give us all the story-lines.

You guys might appreciate my tattoo. :D

Korrok Symbol and the Electric Blue Eye of Korrok.

You know, I used to hate on the movie more than it deserved.. Thought it was an terrible interpretation of the book...

However, Jason Pargin himself has come out saying that the movie reinvigorated his writing career, and we wouldn't have gotten any of the other books, or the zoey series, or anything else without the movie..

I've cut the movie a ton more slack since. :P

"This Book Is Full of Spiders, No Seriously, Don't Open It" Would make a terrifying movie!!

I'm still working my way through "If This Book Exists You Are In The Wrong Universe". Can not wAIT for I'm Starting To Worry About This Black Box Of Doom!

Jason Pargin's work is sooooo good.

I'm not your checkpal, checkguy.

He's too busy working on the next skyrim release anyway.

Impossible! I've got 20 other things to do before I can get to that, and none of them are getting done!
