			<description><![CDATA[ Did the conclusion of Ann and Sax&#39;s longterm misunderstanding make anyone else feel so happy? I won&#39;t say I saw it coming (I really didn&#39;t) but
with all his worrying it did seem to me that Sax at least loved her platonically. The only sad part is that they had to wait 200 years for this realization to
occur; I&#39;m just glad that KSR didn&#39;t hint about it earlier in the series or I&#39;d be dying through the rest of it waiting for it to happen (think
Nadia and Art). In terms... ]]></description>

(Well, for a fraction of a second, anyway...)

Only five people were able to ask him questions, and one of them asked exactly what I would have.  At one point in his speech, he said that if the Tibetans no
longer felt a need for a Dalai Lama, then the &quot;position&quot; would die with him; I got to thinking about what would then happen when he dies and his soul

			<description><![CDATA[ I always wondered what the &quot;killer of myriads&quot;, the killing gas mentioned in Book 4 (The Alchemist) was -- its Chinese name is evidently
&quot;wan-jen-ti&quot;, and while <em>wan</em> certainly means &quot;myriad&quot; and <em>jen</em> is &quot;person&quot;, I couldn&#39;t guess the <em>ti</em>.
<br>

Turns out that it means &quot;enemy&quot; -- I&#39;d been looking for a character related to &quot;kill&quot; -- and is described in Joseph Needham&#39;s
seminal work, <em>Science... ]]></description>

Red Mars! In fact the pilot could be shot by the end of this year. AMC met critical success with last year&#39;s &quot;Mad Men&quot; and &quot;Breaking
Bad&quot; and draws attention with the remake of super-cult 1967 series &quot;The Prisoner&quot; (now under production). I&#39;m not too sure on the people

poor. Not Communism, but just tightening the ends of the economic classes together. Many people live in wealth, with mansions, pools, gold, and other items and
