| "In The Algebraist, Iain M. Banks reveals a creature with 'signal skin.' Here's a quote: 'Fassin opened the pane and let the creature in. It flipped inside, made a sign that was probably meant to be the Dweller equivalent of 'Shh!' and floated towards him, curling and cupping its body so that it formed a sickle shape, just a metre away from the prow of the arrowhead craft.

or as Quercer & Janath would say..." Here is some crazy glue for your eyelids."" (Octoff Malhiero 5/16/2008 8:43:04 AM ) |
