Nothing is actually 'bullet- proof ', yet there is no bullet that can't be stopped. S'aaruuk A more accurate term would be "Bullet-Resistant". And just because it stops the bullet doesn't mean it won't hurt . One of my favorite "TV Bloopers" clips was where an idiot reporter found that out the hard...

Wolf: Quiet and unassuming, he just fades into the background as only a wolf can... unless he's Angry. My aggression, sometimes mistaken for Uncle.

No. More retconish than that. There's some title for an Ah-nold Schwarzenegger movie that comes to mind... "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale". Er, whatever they called. The one with the memory implants, trip to Mars, etc... "Total Recall", that's it. The only theory that makes sense of that tra...

Rokas, your points are valid, but you forget one thing: such people were likely corrupt before they gained any power. As Aleksander Solzenhitzen said near the end of the Gulag books, the line between good and evil doesn't divide between people -- it is a line that goes straight through the center o...

Saw a raccoon scamper by in front of my car today. Naturally, I thought of Quentyn. Quentyn stuck in the land of the humans...if a raccoon-thing stood up and talked to me while using strange magic, I would be pretty freaked out. Maybe I'll find out when the CDs arrive, but... I've wondered whether ...

Attacked by the Wall Street Journal for his part in "Travelgate" (which consisted of looking into the alleged travel misappropriations of a few staffers) The jury threw all charges out in 30 minutes. That should be a clue as to how justified the charges ever were. Billy Dale served in the White Hou...

This essay reminds me of Petey in the Schlock Mercenary strip. Massively powerful, with his own moral code, but also some blind spots. Generally a nice guy... I think. But maybe he's overreaching his very considerable reach...

How could anyone be against recycling? Even from an engineering standpoint recycling makes sense. It's easier to reuse materials already pulled from the earth than to go get new stuff--not to mention cheaper and faster. Which do you think, for example, will yield more usable aluminum--five tons of ...

It's dangerous in accidents, far more than gasoline. I don't think so. Hydrogen universally goes up, it goes up pretty fast, and any combustion doesn't stick around too long. That makes it less dangerous than gasoline. Gasoline hangs around, pools, catches fire and burns persistently. True. But hyd...

So he WANTS to stick with her, even after what she did and the fact that she's unrepentant and cannot be trusted? Quentyn, did you take a stupid pill or something? Well...

Statistics actually show that it's FOUR TIMES more likely for a policeman to shoot the wrong person than for a common citizen to do so. In all lethal shootings, citizens had a 3% friendly-fire rate compared to 12% for policemen. Their training really pays off, doesn't it? An example of how statisti...

Very nice planning from the beginning
I've been thinking since I started reading "Tales of the Questor" that we were seeing far too little lux use. Most of that was luxed artifacts, or by those specifically tagged as "wizards". There was an occasional exception, like Lady Milfolk doing an Emperor Palpatine all over those rat-wights. (No...
