There, that should do it. Thank you, sirs, for the reminder! Nightsky @10: If silly accents are involved, we will learn that Albert's sister Maja was bîtten by a Mööse, once.

Pardon for the threadjack Mr. Scalzi, but are you going to continue your weekly posts for new Stargate Universe episodes? The fandom has been divided regarding possible bias against the female characters on the show and I’m curious about your take on it.

Given Alton Brown’s success at explaining the biochemistry of food using puppets, M.A., I think you’re on to something.

Oh, my — sounds like there’s a natural affinity between hard science and puppets. Who knew?

I have always loved puppet shows. I remember being 5 years old and begging for a kindergarten classroom because it had a stage for puppet shows in it.

I also have this strange love of theoretical physics that most English teachers can’t understand (I was almost my university’s first English major/Physics minor until I found it would add a year to my graduation date).

So to have something like this exist appeals to a part of me I’m likely not ready to come to grips with.

Really, truly, honestly, thanks for sharing!

Things I enjoy:

1. Science
2. Puppets

So this sounds like a great idea.

Maia

Contribute a little, surround a flat screen with the trappings of a puppet show (curtains mostly) and show the You-tube to come! It’s just that easy!
