Sagan is good, but for science-themed novels, I've always preferred Arthur Clarke or Michael Crichton. "Andromeda Strain" is one of my favorites.

Anything by Bill Bryson is awesome. Recently I finished two great biographies. The first one, Genius, is about the life of Richard Feynman who, quite frankly, might have been one of the most stunningly cerebral guys to have ever existed. One cool example: the book recounts a seminar he gave...

I was happy to see Danny Trejo finally get a leading role in Machete. Movie was "meh" but I was happy for him nonetheless.

I don't see him ramming his head on the wall year after year, coming up short, and frankly I wouldn't expect him to. We need to be clear about this: we are *at least* a SG (and backup) and SF (and backup) away **coughSJaxcough** from sniffing legitimate contention. Down low, we need height or...

I finally finished The Epic of King Gesar. The longest book ever written. I also finished Ultrafast Processes in Spectroscopy. Awesome book!

Sekou Smith of nba.com can think what he wants. chemdude1232 of jazzfanz.com thinks this is a bad idea for the Jazz.

And to be totally fair, their on-court playing time was limited to the low minutes he was getting anyway. Plus their coach was ramming the triangle down their throats when it clearly wasn't working.

I'd prefer a sign and trade with Milsap for Marc Gasol. Slide AJ to the 4 and resign AK47 for $4M per for 3 years. Chad Ford, in his NBA chat today on espn.com, even mentioned that he believes that no one on the TWolves is untouchable. Offer Milsap+CJ for Love (sign and trade)

Anti-time has a specific meaning, and it is not what is being described in this thread.

Jazz down 5 at halftime and start the 3rd quarter on a 15-3 run. Eke out a close one 101-94. DWill: 24/8 assists, while out-shooting Bibby et. al Milsap: Plays, but is hampered a bit. To compensate, he commits stupid fouls and isn't played until the last half of the 4th quarter. 12 points/7...

True, but they are posers who have saved themselves literally billions of dollars in development by copying schematics and rummaging through Russia's parts bin for various components. While it seems this J20 is equivalent to pre-F22 technology, the means are surely there to revamp the design...

I'd love to see Blake, LeBron, Dwight, and Nate.

https://aerospaceblog.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/chinese-j-20-stealth-fighterbomber/ This is hitting the airwaves on the major news sites as well. Looks like China is attempting to form its own stealth fighter. The plane, visually, appears to be based on the design of the F-22 Raptor (the...

I've been missing this duo. Muy caliente. /sarcasm

Right now we're in 3rd in the West, 2.5 games behind Dallas. Upcoming 10 games for Dallas: OKC, Orlando, @Indy, @SA, @Mem, @Det, LAL, @Chi, @NJ, Clips. Upcoming 10 games for Utah: Atl, @Mem, @Hou, NYK, Cle, @Wash, @NJ, @Bos, @Philly, @LAL. For the Mavs, I see them going 6-4 (losses to either...

Top 5: 1.) 2Pac 2.) Eminem 3.) Biggie 4.) Mike Shinoda 5.) Eazy E Most slept on: Slick Rick Most Overrated: Jay-Z

This girl is fine. So is that pole vaulter in the other thread. I'd scrub toilets at a truck stop for a month just to get one date with either.

Depends on who we play though, right? Milsap on Gasol (who plays a 4 when Bynum is playing) would be a massacre. Al on Gasol would be great. Of course there are examples where you guys are right too. Milsap on Jamison or Boozer (i.e., smaller PFs) works better.
