Ah...so many pedestrians, so little time...

It's always great when you want scientific fact to get a really good science fiction writer to talk to you about it.

My favorite is when you go to Afghanistan and you meet the special forces guys, and they look like these heavily armed surfers. These guys are the best. You see guys dressed as full Afghans, but then wearing a Yankees hat.

The first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.

You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.

People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.

A place where we all go can't be bad.
