Yeah, sorry. Next time I won't be so cryptic 'n I'll use wiki links or something. More sci-fi tomorrow: my spine and I go into a (probably GE) MRI. It's just a big slab that goes into a plastic hole that makes a lot of noise, like a scanner, ironically. I guess I'll be put off house-techno music for a while.. gotta remember my ear plugs.
Do you have any work? Since I got smashed in a MVA, I've had nothing :( Used to freelance PC computer tech, houseclean, and rough plumbing. Haven't done commercial video in so long... I feel dead inside without a creative occupation.

Very nice likenesses! 'specially Haruhara's creepy eye (wat, no hungy teethy grin?). Oh, in the last post, 42 is the answer to: life, the universe and everything. The problem is: what's the exact question of life, the universe and everything?
In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (first book) a computer is created to ask the ultimate question. Took 2000 years or so to build it. And 'round 10000 to answer it. Damn thing said 42 was the answer. Then the old computer said, "Look that's the answer. I can't compute the question. However, I've got plans to build a computer way better than me that can get the question... take a billion and a half years." Humph.
To top it all off, the computer was a few minutes from completeion, when a Vorgon construction fleet vaporized it to make way for a galactic bypass route.
A kindly drunk Brit wrote it for a BBC radio play sometime ago, then wrote a book(s) and, not long after his death, some Hollywood types totally pimped it into a movie (where I hope it died of scurvy and scabies in south central LA).
Phew! Anyway, it's a Western version of sci-fi quirkiness on par w/ FLCL.
If you like audiobooks, there's one out there.

Thanx, dude!
Of course, I totally forgot about 42...fail on my part. But wow, that's a lot to take in but very interesting. The last audiobook I listened to was a few chapters of Eragon, I think. I remember when I was a kid, i listened to audiobooks of Frog&Toad...love those stories ^_^
Haha, scurvy.
