Folks,

You know it's been too long since you've wasted an hour at XKCD, so  
get on over there and see his take on Space Elevators (and the state  
of humor in America today).

Wellit was several years ago, but Trevor Sands was a listmember for a 
while during the writing of the script.
Real nice guy who had interesting ideas.
It was a fun time on the list, with several of us thinking to write some 
mosaic fanfic telling a story that occurs after Startide on Kithrup. But it 
all sort of fell apart after a while, we never quite found our footing.
