Arthur C. Clarke Talks With The Onion

Posted by timothy on from the 30-english-winters dept.

sootman writes "The Onion has an interview with Arthur C. Clarke in this week's issue. My favorite line: 'The asteroid [named after me] is number four thousand and something, and the International Astronomical Federation, which deals with these sorts of things and numbered it, apologized to me because number 2001 wasn't available, having been given to somebody named "A. Einstein."'" Reader ronys point out that Despite the source, the interview is not a spoof or satire."

    Clarke has dreamt up such futures for mankind one has to wonder how there can still be such outrageously obvious mistakes as the U.S. military budget.

    John Kerry has a lot to do with that one. The man votes against every budget increase for the military coming down the pike.
