Errors

I have ranted about this before and got Sigler swaring at me for my trouble. In the print edition at the start of the book on Baffin island, he has the sun rising at 5:30am, in November at 65degrees North. I am sorry but that don't happen, it would be closer to 9am before you will see a sun rise at that latitude. A side from my ranting who else has observed obvious errors. I give him some room to play this is science fiction after all and making some stuff up is part of the fun.

both are correct: science and the FDO. We're just unable to fully understand science as well as our FDO does. He gets it. Our eyes and watches deceive us. (Just ask him!)

The thylacine is commonly called Tasmanian Tiger in Australia.  I have never heard it refered to as a Tasmanian Wolf here.

 

UPDATE: I just noticed Scott corrected this in episode 2.


 


Acutally...

I dunno know about anyone else here, but I'm about 65 miles north of Duluth, 12 miles from the town with a record -65 degrees below 0. When its that freaking cold, and its a blizzarding out, you are not moving. You are hundling under a blanket with someone warm, trying to remember why the hell you are living in this god-forsaken tundra. I wish I was an antibody, and you were a bacterium, then I could blow you away with my completment.

Ha!

Yeah, maybe Scott is just crazy ultra-Zen and he thinks that whatever he says is the ultimate truth or some cal.

Piffle. Not only can he change the sun rise, he can reconfigure the number of feet in a mile. The man is simply a world-changing divine presence. I'm hoping his editor will trawl this forum, as we attempt to help edit the book by committee. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende
