Desert Power

Here's an advertisement from some random dumbass on Delphi:

Will Muhammad image ignite holy war?

You decide

-

In Miguel Diocuore's CERRCO


My thoughts:

I get to decide whether or not there's a holy war? Wow, that's heavy. My first impulse would be to say no, but we shouldn't be too hasty about that. Maybe I could also decide who they go to war against! It would be like having my very own army of religious fanatics, something I've dreamed about ever since I read Dune back in the 80's. Onward, my minions! Die for Robinnianity!

Headin Out to Eden

Remember that original-series Star Trek episode about the space hippies looking for a "paradise" planet? For some reason the songs from that show keep rattling around in my head. They've been with me all week, and it's starting to creep me out.

"Let's get together and have some fun. I don't know how to do it, but it's got to be done!"

Guess I'm stuck with it. Here's to Spock jammin on that Vulcan harp.
