Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Jesus, when the meds wear off they really do. Hacking up a lung and waiting for the next course to kick in. The cats are glaring at me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hmmph. The Akinator algorithm doesn't think Capt. Bligh is associated with Australia.

But it did come up with Beorn in 20 questions.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It came up with Elizabeth Gaskell and Rayanne Graff terrifyingly quickly, but had never heard of Nora Bayes and had already heard of but was easily confused by Nora Bayes, Florenz Ziegfeld, Enid Coleslaw and Julia Sweeney.

Great game Kat. I shared it with CJ and he is determined to stump it. Hasn't yet though.

I stumped it with Anansi. Fitting, I suppose.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It couldn't get the writer Fritz Leiber though it got close with Roger Zelazny. However, now that it has my answers it probably will get Fritz Leiber.

Otherwise it was terribly efficient at getting Tom Waits and Aang and Frankenstein.

16 questions to get Rodney Mckay, as soon as the "Is your character Canadian?" came up, I knew it had gotten it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Creepy alogrithim that figured out who I was thinking about in less than 20 questions. Try it!

It took 27 questions and an incorrect guess to reach Phar Lap. I suspect, though, that's because it thinks Phar Lap is Australian.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha, it finally got Raine Maida, but it guessed Bryan Adams first.

Holy shit, how the hell did it get Joanna Newsom just from that?? She cannot possibly be the only long-haired singer associated with California who has dated someone famous. But I suppose he eliminated others.

Of course he got Daredevil.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

sarameg, can you e me? My neighbor's cat has diabetes, and I wanted to pick your brain on a couple of things if you wouldn't mind.

I stumped the quiz on Tim Powers.
