POPSAsimov's 30 Laws of Robotics Par 1 (#13-20) Yes I skipped #12. Why? Because I am not a robot and I did not find it very funny nor did #18 so it was skipped too... I REALLY AM TRYING TO CUT DOWN MULTIPLE CLIPS of one posting but it is hard.! Which brings me to: Revenant's Laws (Really Guidelines) to Quasi-Human Behavior 1. The Reaper with the Sickle gets to clip what HE likes, and for that matter in whatever order he likes... 2. He is entitled to change his mind at any time but now. OK now he can, See it is easy. 3. Humans need to lighten up and take things in stride, no one gets out of life alive so there! :P 4. Clips by me are sometimes too long, but never too short so you have that to be thankful for! 5. Donations are in the form of cashier's check made out to cash... Sorry, I get a little silly at times..

POPSAsimov's 30 Laws of Robotics Par 1 (#4-11) If you know Asimov's first Three Laws of Robotics then you either are a scifi fan or a Will Smith Super-Fan (it was a better than average movie and for Will a better than average Will Smith movie which says a lot as I am NOT a Will Smith Super-Fan, He just makes smart movies.) But if you are in the dark about the first 3 laws of robotics here they are: 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. OK Now that we are all on the same web page, enjoy the wonderful witticisms...

POPSWow Whiskeys As a whiskey drinker (it wasn't until this year I became a fan of the spirit) I was super-interested in this piece in which Eric Asimov of the Times looks at the market's high-end and superpremium bourbons.

POPSThe Dark Side of the Sun This is one of only two hard sci fi parodies that I know of by British author Terry Pratchett (more famously the author of the Discworld novels.) Strangely, many seemingly unrelated sword-and-sorcery themes are brought up in this book only to be developed in the Discworld novels.

POPSGroup renames Asteriod for George Takei Ensign Sulu, from Star Trek.( I'm sure he was an admiral in the movies.) Asteroids are generally cataloged, and given a catalog number. Some Asteroids are then renamed after famous, or notable people. They mention websites that offer naming rights to stars. These names are not generally used by astronomers, while the Asteroid names given by the International, Astronomical Union are.

POPSTop 100 Sci-Fi Short Stories. When I see a list. I know what is on the list is going to depend on who is making the list. There are some predictable ratings, but there are generally surprises. When looking at Sci-Fi fiction lists, it continues to be amazing that there are so many authors writing who were hardly recognized, but produced high quality work. Short stories are great because they can be read without like seeming like a project. They are also good for training our minds to read epics.(I've just clipped the two ends of the list.)
