Things you find yourself defining when you write a book:

Kibble (a form of human chow, lowest common denominator foodstuff originally formulated for humanitarian and disaster relief emergency food supply)

Lizrats (mutated reptilian rodents descended from the iguana stock of a reptile pet store, accidentally released into the wild during the New Madrid Fault earthquakes)

"Drop line" (terminating a NetRunning session. Also the break-up of a social relationship. Derived from the archaic term "drop carrier".)

ELF Gun (an energy weapon that fires discreet, tightly focused bursts of electromagnetic force that disrupts the weak nuclear force bonds within atoms, causing the target to vaporize, liquify or disintegrate depending on composition and atomic structure.)



In other news, the question we've been pondering most here at Radio Free Ross-a-Noodle is: If one assumes the arrow of time as described by Prof. Hawking to be analogous to an X-axis, and every instance of a given moment as a cross-section or core through the parallel universes to be the Y-axis, what is the Z-axis of time? Or if all the given instances of the same moment of time are in fact a circle of radii through all the given possible universes, what then is the Z-axis of time?


Also pondering ConStellation and whether or not I should go.
