Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Support Net Neutrality

In honour of the FCC deciding that cable companies can censor the internet for everyone, my version of a sneak preview of that arcane and asinine law is: No story.

With an absence of net neutrality comes an absence of indie folk like me sharing their creative efforts with viewers like you.

Petition at moveon.org, dearfcc.org, fairandopeninternet.com, daily kos, and Freepress.

I will now be taking a day of silence and praying that these efforts are enough.

Challenge #00613 - A248: The Human Argument

And, isn’t sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you’re good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit!”

“Awright. Yes. Humans as a race are kinda nuts,” Hwell admitted. “There’s lots of things I can’t immediately explain.”

“And your individual susceptibility to Silly Season,” added Ax'and'l. “What evolutionary advantage is there on picking up

Challenge #00612 - A247: Universal Nevers

Quite honestly, you could strap those engines to just about anything and it could make escape velocity.

That’s what the man had said when he’d sold them the refurbished hulk for an amazingly cheap price. He’d said not to turn the gravity on until they were at least two hundred clicks on their way.

What he’d neglected to mention was that any motor can achieve escape velocity if used in a cumulative fashion. Especially

Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down… And shot off their testicles.

“The old lady spent a week hunting those men down and, when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way,” said police investigator Evan Delp.

Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant’s

Challenge #00611 - A246: Every Apprentice Does It

My god… it’s full of spelling errors.

Alani was going after Extra Credit. Finding the Original Source was always good for that. She traced it from planetoid to planetoid, from reference to reference to sub-reference and finally… in the Dark Rooms where only special lights were allowed… a yellowed and rather small booklet kept in its own rarified atmosphere and handled only through waldoes.

To show willing, Alani used the special scope to view the myopic scribble of an

Challenge #00610 - A245: One Stormy Afternoon in a Spaceport Drydock

…but for all that they’re effective, they’re about as far from efficient as trying to run a car via rocket motors.

The geiger indicators were still rattling like a drawer full of loose beads as crew working on the dilapidated vessel did what they could to reduce the risk to other citizens on the station. They were dressed head to toe in anti-radiation armour. And worked in shifts of ten minutes at a time.

In the nearest emergency med-bay, similarly-clothed

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from.

The water is hidden inside a blue rock that lies 700 kilometres underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth’s surface and its core.

Some geologists think water arrived in comets as they struck planets, but the new discovery

Challenge #00609 - A244: Intervention

[species] Science: It gets results! Just… not always the ones you want. (Alarm sound) Oh [deity] there’s another containment breach!

“Another? This happens frequently?” asked the visiting human.

“Oh yes. Researching the makeup of the universe is a dangerous pastime.”

“Uhm… It doesn’t have to be. You could make sure the reactor is secure before continuing your research.”

The lizard scientist stared at her as if she’d grown two heads.
