funny ha-ha, not funny like fish gone bad

Better than the real thing: Playmate bloopers.

Warren Ellis rips into GM crops; I laughed repeatedly. Short little machinegun barks and snorting noises -- trés uncool. For the record, I'm against GM crops, the same as I'm against any kind of monoculture. Reliance on them sets us up for incredible problems.

Lately larger agribusinesses have filled fields with their GM crops, then sued neighboring farms when the GM crop shows up in the neighbor's farm. This seems like me suing my neighbor when I've broken their window with a stray baseball. But the descriptive "granola-crunching hippie who probably lives on rectum-paralysing medication to stop them constantly fountaining a stream of seed-riddled diarrhoea" had me going.

I blinked and tried to remember some history. “You mean the Hundred Year War? Fifteenth Century? Fourteenth? Sometime around there. Between . . . France and England? Henry V? Kenneth Branagh? Or was it . . .” “I mean the Century War with Islam,” interrupted the Time Traveler. “Your future. Everyone’s.” He was no longer smiling. Without asking, or offering to pour me any, he
