Good thread. difficult to decide on, though.

All you can say is WHAT happened. You do not know why. You will never know why.

More like pudding than bees.

Pudding is better than bees.

I would rather be paid to eat pudding than bees.

Jeez. Just occurred to me we should have done this earlier. You know, so WG would know exactly what to do with the book.

Well, he can always use it for the next book. Remember, man: lots of string theory and pudding; no Africanized bees.

That should speed the process up considerably.

i don't know, africanized bees have a certain something - the cliched villain of the piece? bees of mass destruction? i can see potential for bees having a pivotal role. every time i see africanized like that i can't help but think of weaponized, and that leads to depleted bees, and you can't deny we have a problem with bee depletion these days!

not the pudding interest for sure, but then what is? bravus? well, maybe. bravus and custard anybody?

Actually, I read somewhere that our bee population (at least in the US), is indeed depleted at the moment.

I voted against wedgies, personally. And for Heavy Metal. I almost voted for String Theory, but thought that, too would be a bit cliche, least around here.

Funny. I was just reading Soul on Ice today and wondering why I hadn't read it before.

I read it when I was 17. Luckily access to guns was much more difficult then than now, or I'd probably be writing this from jail.

Were you a UK resident when you were 17? Have things changed since then?

Yep, born bred and buttered in the UK. Despite many long stretches in the US from age 14 onwards, still here. The gun thing? Has changed inasmuch as I know somebody I could buy one from, now.

Somewhere on the Internet I once read a series of 70s killer bee disaster movie reviews, rated by number of people killed by bees. Most were shockingly low, but I think The Swarm (the only 70s killer bee disaster movie I've seen) scored pretty highly.

I would spend an hour trying to find it again but I have a feeling that if any of you are interested you can find it yourself quite quickly. My Internet-searching skills are pretty terrible.
