Ping Greg Goss 
  When you put in a huge subject line it kills my newsreader and then I lose stuff. So cut it the fuck out. -- If there's a nuclear winter, at least it'll snow.

Car Identity AngstFor three decades or so, I've been making fun of the trope where fathers moan about "mini-vans" and how this symbolizes a change in identity, compared to whatever they were driving before. The classic angst of driving a minivan led to these car designs drifting. The station wagon vanished and the mini-van shrank into the "SUV". Later, station wagons reappeared, but were "crossovers" rather than a van or wagon of any kind, and the testosterone expression was satisfied. I continued to laugh at such people who let their identities be defined by their cars.

Sky City 
  The concept of an "arcology" is a common one in Science Fiction. These are generally set in the industrial West - Niven placed his in LA, Robocop's writers placed theirs in Detroit. Now, a Chinese company is planning to build one in a field near the capital of Hunan province. In seven months. They plan to build modules... more »

Body talk 
  I tried Google for this, but it was no help. One thing that I hear chefs talk about is giving food "body". For example, they'll say that adding tomato paste to a dish gives the dish "body", however, I've never heard them say, when it comes to food, WHAT body is. So, just out of curiosity, as it relates to food, what is body?... more »
