Okay, go for it. Start a thread.
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I wonder, though, if I am the only one on this sight that has gotten through all 11 books. EUOL was making it through, but got too busy. He hasn't finished 7. So I have no one to talk about it with, because everyone who would be interested might read them at some point and don't want any spoilers. And I wouldn't want to spoil it for them. Piecing together all of the subtle clues is part of the fun.
I've read all the books, actually. We could talk if you want.

Uncyclopedia: wiki-based online encyclopedia of lies. Everything on it is made up.
Are they also for misspellings? (Such as "yougth" and "ussually" and "suicidical.") I'm thinking because everything is a lie, so are the spellings of some of their words, right?

It used to be that Veronica Mars was on at 8 and Lost at 9, but they moved Lost to 8. But with the power of having an All-in-Wonder video card, I can record one show onto my computer and watch the other show on the TV and then watch the recorded show at 9. It's almost better, really, cause I can skip the commercials of the second show. Ugh, commercials.

Sure, it's at the same time as Lost and Veronica Mars. I guess I'll have to pass unless they both start to get boring (or are both in reruns).

Did you think about contacting Linguistics departments and giving them your sister-in-law's info so they can contact her about the position? I know that there have been some grad students hired by the government because they were getting their grad degree in Linguistics. They were actually paid to learn the languages (I believe Arabic, what a surprise). You could email BYU's linguistic's department at linguistics AT byu DOT edu. Just put the info that is needed in the email and then ask it be forwarded to linguistics students.

Need more info, i.e. network, day, and time.
Also a synopsis might be good. Will we be confused if we come in part way through? Is it on its second season?

Yeah, my husband suffers from that a little as well (at least when he pulls himself away from watching long enough to complain that it's a girly show that is a waste of time to watch).

What about the new iPod nano. Talk about tiny and it still holds up to 1,000 songs (either 2 or 4 GB). It's only 1.5 oz!
Check it out here.

I was reading the posts and soon noticed that everyone who had something to say on the subject was a guy. So I decided to put in my two cents worth.
A new season of Gilmore Girls! Hurray! Hurray! Luke and Lorelai are engaged! Hurray! Hurray! I only wish I could fit in more exclamation points!!!
I second the hurrahing! Yeah Gilmore Girls! I loved it when Lorelai went into her parents bedroom at like 3 in the morning with Rory's stuff. I think her mother can be so rude sometimes!

Can you just look at what hat you're wearing? The President doesn't say you have to guess without looking, does he? Although if this were true, it wouldn't take hours to figure out.
And Legion, the President says he has placed a hat on each of their heads. So it was done before the test was explained. Plus you should be able to feel it, so you'd know if there wasn't one, and you'd say, "There isn't a hat on my head," not "The color of the hat I'm wearing is. . ."

I couldn't find a date when this was written, but it sounds like it was written before this all happened. Am I right? (The map they have with the article was copyrighted in 2004.)
