Not that I particularly want immortality, you understand, I am just invested in the idea of it, no one can live forever and yet the concept of immortality pervades our fiction.

I was talking to my good friend James Moore a few days ago, and he posited the idea of "Digital Inheritance" as a way of continuing such exploits as webcomic's or vblogs after the death of the original creator. In this way such internet projects could continue long after the original artists have stopped submitting.

This is an interesting posit, but it's full impact has not yet been discussed. As long as this digital inheritance continues the content submitted by the original artist will still be there, unchanging, in exactly the same state as the day it was submitted and it will remain there until the site is taken down.

This is the closest thing to immortality that one can realistically think of.

Thank you for reading.

01)Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?

03) 12 sends 8 on a mission.
Unlikely in the extreme.

04) What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Activating Evolution, or something on advanced genetics or werewolf genetics. He's very smart for a canine.

05) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
More likely to be the other way round, although both are unlikely.

06) For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Probably Rex, they're both broody.

07) 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Random, Paxair and Wood meet up, random wants pizza, paxair wants human souls, wood probably wants imperial rations or orc flesh.

a fight ensues, no one survives. a cat eats them.

08) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
well random controls probability so the outcome depends on how connected random is at the time of the fight. on random's terms random would win, on gek's terms possibly niether, or both.

09) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?
They would beg for it back, he is thier master.

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Harry potter and the hail of bullets.

nope

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Nightwing and vigilance have teamed up on several occasions, they regard each other as allies, captain random would probably keep an eye on what they're up to, but not intervene

Klik'gh

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
Blood Brothers, Iron Maiden

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Wood pulls out his bolt pistol and puts a cap in pax's stomach, dog the jumps him, this leaves simon facing an uninjured (he's immortal) pax who forgets about the pancake and eats him instead. So dog gets the pancake.

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Hey i see you're a hideous mutant, want some cock?

Possibly somewhere in britian there is someone, possibly living on exmoor in a cave, possibly stuck in a nukear bunker waiting for the fallout to recede, more possibly standing outside sainsburys clutching an ASBO as the last sign of manhood who does not know what a Dalek looks like, what it sounds like and who it's greatest enemy is.

For those of you who don't know here's the 5-1-1

A Dalek is pure evil. It is, it may look liek a binwith a plunger and an eggwhisk haphazardly screwed on but inside it's just pure evil. The Dalek race was based on the Nazis and the thought of a fascist walking tank impervious to everything and incapable of morality or pity should scare the hell out of us.

I love 'em, you love 'em, we all love 'em. Ridiculous or not the Daleks have EXTERMINATED thier way into our hearts and minds, they're as british as red london buses or big ben. they're great, and they're back.

Hooray for Daleks! ]]> ~cybernix http://cybernix.deviantart.com/journal/5868483/ http://cybernix.deviantart.com/journal/5868483/ Thu, 07 Jul 2005 15:03:36 PDT
I guess this is it, zero hour.

Ever since 9/11 we've known it's coming. For the last 2 years we've been warned and warned again about the threat of a terrorist attack on great britain.

The first year went and everyone was on high alert, scared to go out into the metropolises, scared to open envelopes through the post.

The second year there was less of an interest, nothing happened in the first year mayebe it wasn't going to happen, there was an attitude of disbelief that anything would happen at all.

We got complacent.

I have friends who live in london, luckily none of them were hurt (thank god for small blessings) but most of them are shocked and frightened, and so am I, so are all of us.

So spare a thought for those people killed in london today. Only 49 people, it may not seem like a big deal compared to the thousands killed in the 9/11 attacks but that's still 49 daughters, sons, wives, husbands, lovers and parents wiped out just because they were there, victims of a war they have nothing to do with. ]]> ~cybernix
