D. Ebdrup posted:Like basically all other technology in the books it's glossed over, all we know is that the bodies are rendered for their water, whatever that means. I doubt it has much to do with rendering fat which involves heat, I always took it more as a way of dissolving the body and then cleaning the liquids until it's just water. Body goes in, water comes out. You can't explain it!

I don't think about these things too hard, man. Scifi tech almost never holds up to serious scrutiny.

, but on the other this is one of the most organic conversations in the series. Because Frank doesn't know what it's like to be a psychic space-bedouin warrior who doesn't bathe, but he does know what it's like to be extremely horny.

The last two are worth a try if you liked God Emperor. I mean, the villain is an empire of hyper imperialistic man hating gently caress witches with cannibal cat people slaves.

They are kinda horny though, but that's true for basically all of scifis greatest writers as they got older - it has a sort of skeevy charm to it, in its own weirding way.

I think Asimov was the least horny of classic sci fi writers. Clarke and Herbert and Heinlein being the horniest. Bradbury wasn’t too horny but I haven’t read a lot of his stuff.

Asimov’s writing isn’t that horny because he worked out all his sexual urges by groping fans at conventions. The true horniest sf writer was Cordwainer Smith who wrote a whole book about a sexy badass cat girl hooker in the future, named after his own cat

iirc cordwainer smith is the Jet-Propelled Couch guy, whose nanny had sex with him when he was nine or something equally horrific and sexually traumatizing.

Hey, everyone, read The Jet-Propelled Couch, a two-part article in Harpers (part I, part II) from the 50s.quote:“This fellow is a man in his thirties,” he said, “a research physicist with us out here. As far as I can tell, he’s perfectly normal in every way except for a lot of crazy ideas about living part of the time in another world–on another planet. Washington sent him out to do a key job, and until a few weeks ago he was going great guns. But lately he’s out of contact with the work so much and for so long that something’s got to he done about it.”

Every ounce of humor and wit that was in "coming to America" will be completely non-existence in the sequel. There will be, AT LEAST, 2 fart jokes. Justin Bieber will be in it. I am sure they will have Sam Jackson do a walkon just to yell " MUTHAFUCKA".

Eddie Murphy would certainly be an out of left field career revival. Has anyone had a breakdown how he kept on starring in nothing but garbage (and Shrek) for what seems like decades?

Not gonna lie, kinda excited for Failson's BG series mainly for the opportunity to hear the phrase "I can control genital temperature" spoken by a real human being with a straight face. Temperature is stored in the balls.
