Bos & Ted, you know, don't you, that in Larry Niven's Known Space universe, violations of the law, such as tax evasion, get citizens sentenced to the organ banks? Essentially, the demand for transplantable organs is such that the sentence for any crime is death - by being carved up and your organs harvested by the nearest handy autodoc.

Nice world, huh?

I confess I've never read Niven, though I have always meant to do so. One of those writers who is on my "to be read... someday" list.

:chores

Ringworld is the reason I want to read him.

It's just a case of too many authors, too little time.


I need to get paid to read, somehow.

:idea:

You picked on AlleyCat?

More importantly, you picked on him suffieciently enough that he Schmooed you, oh Rainbow Nite?

*snickers*

That takes a lot.

:D

eh, not as much as you think.



Both kids now. :( And worse.

I really, REALLY hope I don't get it. I've washed my hands so many times in the last 48 hrs that I think I've taken a layer of skin off.


And I think Boston has a pic of a mug like that...or someone does. :idea: I'm too lazy to hunt it down though.


:( :Hug2:

Good day, hounds.

My friends are telling me to go apply to work at their call center. I'm thinking I should.

I will, however, get some writing done tonight because I've been looking forward to it all day. It's nice to be able to come home and do something I enjoy.

Oooh, I missed that.


Do tell.

:popcorn:

It was a long night of getting scmooed, not sure I can remember the order of which the horrors occurred.

hmm...there was a demented Easter bunny, a disturbing chick, a my lil pony :eek: :eek:, Barney (barf), and I think you caught the rest from there. AC needs more pie. Never jab a mod cat with a stick at three in the morning. :/
