Commented on Public Resource demands the source code to America's operating system
I was up late last night wondering - how can I follow the laws if I don't even know them? Why don't we get packets in 3rd grade telling us what the US laws and penalties for not following them...

Commented on Man will get 30 lashes for smoking on Saudi Arabian flight
It's a good choice of punishment. It doesn't detain anyone unfairly, but it lingers in your mind, acts as a badge of dishonor, and really, really hurts. I'm not saying that it's suitable for the other uses, but it's still...

Will (Bloop) Found was proud to be born in Riverside and he rarely left. Now, naturally, he and his family travel a lot. When he was thirty one when he had The Idea and it took him three years to secretly build the spaceship Jupiter II out of wood. After he was in orbit, Will freely published everything about The Idea on the internet. It changed the world. He was proud it did, even though the changes were unexpected. But Will was most proud of the Riverside newspaper's headline printed as he orbited the Earth: "Found in Space"....

He floated outside the ship, holding the dull silver sphere clumsily in his gloved hands. Turning it, he found a raised square in the center. He thought he might report in, take it inside to examine. But… Impulsively, he pressed down on the square. And was suddenly inside a dull sphere, lit from nowhere, floating free. “Zephraim to Alpha, over.” Nothing. “Zephraim to Alpha.” He wouldn’t panic. Not yet. He looked around: dull, featureless. Except for the little silver sphere in the center of the chamber. He floated to it, picked it up. Examined the raised square in the center…...

Smaller than I expected, but still mind boggling that after so long I finally found him. I walked up to him and asked him for his autograph and Captain James T Kirk set his drink down and said, “ I don’t do autographs, you Denebian slime devil.” He handed me a headshot and I went home. What a douche bag!...

“He after this,” the bodyguard presented a sleek electronic-looking cube. “Charged right in and started hootin’ when he grab it.” Cortez waved back a patrolman. “Says it his. Saw it on Cribs. Knew right where it at.” The bodyguard made a low huffing sound that Cortez placed finally as a laugh. “Needs it to get back home. Some kind of space man.” Cortez studied the bruised up cracker in the squad car. More cars arrived every few moments, drawn to the address more than the call. “The man’s name really Marion?” Cortez wanted to know. “Naw, man. Name is Mister.”...
