And of course, in the future, all accents will be exactly the same as they are today. That's just basic science.

Kingsley Amis, Martin's dad, was one of the first people from the literary world to take science fiction seriously. In 1984, he'd call The Terminator 'a flawless masterpiece' . I'm not sure he ever even saw Saturn 3.

What do you think the chances are that Martin wrote the inmortal line "you have a beautiful body - may i use it?"

Pictures of the band Cast always please me greatly, because two of them look like they're in a doom metal band and the other two look for all the world like they're in Cast.
