Random Quote

Shelley was familiar with tyranny and intolerance. In 1811, while yet an undergraduate, he'd had the 'The Necessity of Atheism' published at Worthing in Sussex. It appeared for sale in the bookshop window of Munday and Slater's for just twenty minutes. The brevity of the sale was due, unfortunately, not to an exhaustion of the edition, but the appearance upon the scene of a clerical wowser yclept John Walker. The good Rev., strolling by the bookstore, saw the essay upon display, and exhibiting correct Christian indignation, upbraided the two miserable sinners. The pamphlets were removed and burned in true Hitlerian fashion - except for one that Slater kept, and which is the surviving copy.

[Joseph Sapere]

A nice surprise in the comments: Oliver Sacks and I have something in common. That's one of my favorite shirts, too.

I guess now's as good an opportunity as any to show off my homemade shirt...

It's strange: ever since I read one of Sacks' books, everybody seems to be mentioning him.

PZ - as a cephalopod fanatic you may enjoy a fine SF novel by Stephen Baxter entitled "Manifold: Time" (first of a trilogy). It features genetically enhanced squid (already smart but a hand up can't hurt) piloting interstellar craft and evolving among the stars.
