His name is Donovan Freberg. The only reason I remember this is because I recognized the voiceover as being his father, Stan Freberg. I listened to "The United States of America" a lot when I was kid, and Pete Puma is the best cartoon character ever created.:-P
I did too, especially considering the guy's name is Hoover...
I'm surprised that some overly sensitive person hasn't complained about using drug paraphernalia to promote slashdot. Not that there's any kind of positive public image to be upheld, but still.:P
I just finished reading Cryptonomicon this week, and I thought that Enoch hadn't died. I thought they faked his death somehow. I actually looked up the passage, surprised that I found it. After Enoch is pronounced dead there is this paragraph:
"...After a minute or two he sees Rudy poke his head out the door of the doctor's office and look one way, then the other. He pulls his head back inside for a moment. Then he and another man walk out of the office. The other man is wrapped in a blanket that covers even his head. They climb into the Mercedes, Blanket Man lies down in the back seat, and Rudy drives off in the direction of his cottage."
Of course, it could still mean that he is supernatural and did die but came back to life. I imagine we'll find out more in Quicksilver.
...they could have included Mr. B Natural with this.
And I can only hope there is a soundtrack only option so I can listen to the "haunting Torgo theme" over and over in pure digital clarity...

Let's stick to the actual arguments and data, instead of making cheap ad hominem attacks.
You must be new here.

I know, one isolated incident, but still, it can happen.
