I must vigorously protest the use of cherished cultural artifact "Gilligan's Island" to floating conglomeration of refuse.

'Bout damn time. I have been waiting for a toaster that allows me to slice my bread lengthwise forever. Finally I can have heels that are at least a foot long.

From the Speigel article:

"My Indian name," Mr. Michaelis told me, "is Lonely Man."

So sad...

Yeah, I gave up on WoT in the mid-90s. I think of all the time, money and psychic energy I saved not waiting for the next installment to appear at the bookstore, the buying and reading the monsters. And I've got no small amount of guilty schadenfreude for the people who have been and will be waiting for them... Forever!

In any case, thanks for a few good ones, Mr. Jordan!

I have fond memories of using winamp visualization plugins to help calm my fussy babies. I still think winamp had the coolest visualizations going, and you
modify them yourself and make your own. I spent hours dinking around with those.

No media player has visualizations that are as good as those were.
