One of the old PhYW members (okaylah, old Phases Young Writers member is not oxymoronic any more since we're all in our mid to late 20s) posted a link to this story. Then Jerng got all excited and started putting together a personnel list for a firm to make them. Then Buswrecker, another old acquaintance who's a short Chinese guy who likes big bikes*, wrote:

"don't waste your time. buy a motorbike. quick before all the gas runs out."

Wahahaha!

*Nickname has nothing to do with his chosen mode of transport...it's a much longer story than that.

Man, I need to write BADLY. It's been a long time since the last good blog post. I've had an essay on the cultural impact of Nipah virus on the back burner for ages, and I've got an idea for a funny story for the Futures page in Nature. Nature is awesome, it's the only real scientific journal (plus one of the other Nature Something family journals) I know that's got a page devoted to science fiction.
