The crew at the library survived. Shouldn't have. Oh well.

That crap about the Gutenberg Bible being the first printed book was inane. NOT the first printed book. Not even the first book printed with movable type. Whatever.

If you want to ease the pain of The Day After Tomorrow with a funny and well-educated review, an actual paleoclimatology professor posted one to rec.arts.sf.written when the movie came out. I gather someone suggested he should go see it and review it, and he said "only if somebody paid me $100 would I go see that"; and the group came up with the cash. A copy of the review is here: http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~dasulliv/hyde.

And agreed, the wolves were incredibly silly. I cannot believe we still haven't gotten over our cultural thing of making them the all-purpose bad guys.

thanks!

That was really helpful. I was trying to figure out how on that pull cold air down thing could work. Roland was like, there isn't enough air up there to provide adequate chilling, and we were both thinking the pressure thing was weird, and we couldn't make any sense of it not warming up AND being high enough pressure to breathe. That, believe it or not, was the thing I couldn't stop thinking about. Nice to have that put to rest.
