    @ Fookwit. Isn't that from a art series, about a man in China who was hiding around Beijing, taking pictures at random corners?

    Also, the Onion knows why those birds were dying last month

    @Lemon Laser Betty:

    Possibly. I came across the pic via Twitter; no article attached to it, though. I mostly thought it was a fab pic.

    So Toronto is getting "hit" by about 15cm of snow after forecasts for almost double that.
    I love my city, but we are never going to live down that time the mayor call for the military to help us dig out....

    I love the Taiwanese CGI news reports, especially when they're about stuff that is already batshit insane, like the Charlie Sheen situation...

    In siberia for some 50 years they've domesticated foxes by breeding only those who show less signs of agression. As a result of this they have discovered some really interesting facets. Not only do the foxes change physically, but they have determined it is actually solely their genes responsible for their disposition and continuing evolution.

    Is speculative fiction poised to break into the literary canon?
    Speculative fiction has produced many great works of literature. Even a partial list of SF's canonical works could fill many blogposts. It would be difficult to talk seriously about the last century of literature without considering HG Wells, or George Orwell, or JG Ballard at the very least. And of the writers working today, how many owe something to the works of Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut or Philip K Dick? In fact, the number of SF authors being retrospectively rolled in to the literary canon seems to grow exponentially year on year.
