http://www.livescience.com/scienceoffic ... r><br>This is the most interesting site I've seen in a long time. Filled with odd news articles and links to more, this site really caught my fancy. <br><br>The Technology and Science of Fiction pages alone yield articles on real-life cloaking technology, a propulsion system that could get you to Mars and back in 90 days, remote-controlled flies (honest), chips planted in brains to stop the black market cadaver trade... and more.<br><br>If you like neat or weird news, check it out.<br><br>Nate

Thanks for sharing, Nate. I checked out the site and immediately teleported it to my favorites! Some really interesting stuff there.

I'm betting there's some good story ideas there, too.
<br>I can see it now. Our hero is captain of a cloaked terahertz flashlight blimp watching over the Air Force quantum entanglement teleporter when the Mars MagBeam propulsion cannon goes haywire, threatening to destroy the remote controlled fly factory! Can our hero save the novelty toy market in time? Tune in next week!<br><br>Truth is stranger than fiction...<br><br>Nate

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

...and the little dog laughed to see such fun!

(Did you read the article "Animals laugh, too"?)
<br>Well, where would our intrepid hero, able Captain Abel, be without his trusty sidekick and companion, Larry, the Laughing Dog?<br><br>Nate
