I did a bit of poking around on it, and was able to find Sirius, Beta Hydri, ... and Sol.

Well, that was weird.
The first time I clicked that link, it took me to a page of entertainment headlines. I closed it, opened this reply to report it went to the wrong place, then decided to see if I could search to the right page. I opened it again, and bang it went right to the article. Like I said, weird.

It looks like there's going to be a weapon on the next Shuttle launch - one that's not so clumsy or random as a blaster...

She's not mad, just slightly annoyed... But if you can find a virtual circular slide rule, please let us know about it.

Doing a bit of URL-hacking of the image, I discovered it's from a webstrip called Radioactive Panda. Here's the particular strip.
Looks like something to read over the long weekend (instead of writing... hey! I need the computer to write at! don't drag me away from it! )

These folks are probably on the Moon as fast as humanly possible, once the fen start moving. Considering their goal is to get settlers there by 7/31/2012, they'd probably see the opening of moon colonies ahead of schedule as a good thing.Ebony the Black Dragon

Here's a story about another person that the BBIs should approach, if only for combat training: Blind Judo master floors tobacco stealing skinhead

BD-5J
I'd be really surprised if some enterprising fen hasn't 'waved one of these.
BD-10
Or maybe this one, if they could get there hands on one of the two surviving planes.

Let me give it a shot. I'll try to leave your message undestroyed in the process.
ETA: Done. And interesting links -- yeah, the BD-10 in Canada should probably get 'waved sooner or later.-- Bob
