Will there ever be another sequel to the trilogy of five? If so, how do you plan to reserruct Arthur & the crowd? I always felt that Zaphod mellowing out just didn't quite cut it.
This is ridiculous! The best thing about AD&D is that it's MY GAME!!! Everyone looks the way I want, sounds the way I want, and since it's a *roleplaying* game, happens how I want! Besides, if they wanted to make an RPG movie, AD&D is a bad choice. It's fun for running around, killing, and stealing treasure, but drama? Thought provoking? No way! If I want a good story, I pick up Analog at Chapters.
Although some of the following may not be geeks, that's only because they were able to infuse the public with interest in their work. In no particular order: Carl Sagan: Greenhouse effect of Venus, infused so many with the interest of science, I among many. Isaac Asimov: He practically *invented* robotics! Nikolai Tesla: Reasons mentioned many times above. Charles Babbage: Computer Man! Isaac Newton: Sure this guy's an alchemist, but he *discovered* gravity! James Clark Maxwell: If not for him, we would never know of all the wonderful waves of energy permeating the universe.(Maxwell's Equations). Arthur C. Clarke: Although he made a big doody when he placed another gigantic star so close to the Earth(2010, 2061, 3000), he invented the telecommunications sattelite! Alexander Graham Bell: How many of you are reading this through your *telephones* attached to modems, on nice multiplexing phone lines that don't drench the world in seas of copper? Albert Einstein: I think his contributions to cosmology have no need to be mentioned. Galileo: Anyone who proved all of medieval England wrong along with ancient Greece and was forbidden by the Church until 1832 while developing the telescope in the process must be mentioned here. I'd mention Copernicus here too, but he was of the first millenium.
I verily agree. Do we, the people, those who preach peace and "look but don't touch" want to end up as soldiers, not the intellectual elite, but the grunts and footmen? As mentioned above, controlling someone's electricity, making someone lose a job, those are as bad as killing them. In Genesis(Yes, I'm orthodox Jewish), incredible poverty is considered to be like death. -Thank God I live in Canada.
