If Mark Twain is hailed as a genius for “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” then I expect the same for my NaNoWriMo magnum opus “Wet Hot American Sumer” (where I deliver a Baconator to Mesannepada, founder of the First Dynasty of Ur, and change the course of humanity).

Watched a Jim Davis interview from the 1980s. He claimed he never wanted Garfield to be too ubiquitous, and greatly limited the number of Garfield appearances in various media. Garfield is therefore so potent that he’s inescapable, despite being administered at homeopathic doses.

Highly rude of the Webbs to change the title of “Soviet Communism: A New Civilization?” to “Soviet Communism: A New Civilization” in later editions. Gives away the ending, on the cover no less. Um, ever hear of spoiler space?

Carl Sagan’s excess faith in human reason isn’t best demonstrated by his atheism, but rather how in Contact he has the inventor of what is essentially AdBlock become the richest, most powerful man on Earth (as is deserved)
