    I was living in Oklahoma and I remember some of the local media mentioning this “coronavirus” thing that was spreading in China. I also remember people joking about Corona (the beer) being suddenly less popular.

    Then in February, March, and April it getting more and more serious, and this is about the time that people started claiming it wasn’t real, and if it was, it wasn’t that bad, and if it was, then it was from a chinese lab bent on taking down the US…

    April-May had me re-adjusting my previous opinions of people around me that I thought were rational.



  • Two of my favorites are from books and don’t have pictures: the nanotech weapon given to grunts in “Old Man’s War” and the Soft Weapon from Niven’s short story titled, appropriately enough, “The Soft Weapon”. There was an animated Star Trek episode based on The Soft Weapon, but I can’t remember what I looked like, I just remember the producers weren’t brave enough to animate an alien with two heads and three legs.

    Other than those, I really liked the silly guns in Ratchet and Clank, epecially the Vacuum Cannon.
