Boy, does that man live in interesting times.

[dewline.livejournal.com]

For his sake, the times could stand to be somewhat less interesting for a while.

OUCH.

Here's to hoping me makes a speedy and smooth recovery!

That said, did he take a wrong turn into one of his own novels?

I suspect that you might have cause and effect snarled up . . . People who do interesting things have more to write about from direct experience than those of us who only peruse stylized after-the-fact accounts of them :-)

Oh, my GOD. Of all the diseases, he's quite right that it's SFnal. In the worst way.

It's a good thing the two of you can't interbreed. I shudder to think what would happen if Nicoll events were combined with events in his life....

Can we rule out horizontal gene transfer between them via bacteria?

[alyxyn.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to cause trouble? Don't give the Universe/karma/fate/FSM any new ideas, you!

Besides, it sounds as if Mr. Watts has had more than enough to do with bacteria already.

What's next for him? Plague of frogs? Attack by ninja pangolin assassins?

Well. Since he's effectively tied down. Sounds like it's time for visits from fanboys!

Ninja pangolin fanboys.

By June he's going to wake up and discover he's transformed into a cockroach.

[mr-mediocre.livejournal.com]

Or more appropriately, transformed into a giant isopod.

So not clicking on that link.
