Hah!  And I just noticed (call me slow) that one of the better stories was by a guy named Eric James Stone.  Could it be OUR Eric James Stone?

If so, I'm curious how you got tapped to do a story for them as they were hand-picking the first issue.  Do you know the man himself?  Did he call you because of some other work you've done?  ???

I'm pretty sure Eric wrote that story for Card's boot camp, though I can't remember exactly.  I heard the story at his reading at CascadiaCon, and it's awesome.

A summary of what a british tank driver did that earned him a Victoria Cross (highest UK medal). For added craziness, check out the other guy linked at the bottom.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Saint, it's posted by me. 'F-bombs' go without saying.

Maybe a little disturbing, but cool in it's own way.
