Except that it's not JUST ocean only (evidenced by the fact that I'm not breathing through gills). Earth has the environments of all of those other fictitious planets/moons I mentioned combined, plus a lot more. But yeah, I think our planet would have been more accurately named "Sea." Although referring to a human as a "sealing" (ceiling?) would be a little confusing...

The thing about these sci-fi languages that I've always thought is silly is that on Earth we have, what, about 6,000 languages? But sci-fi worlds tend to have only one language for the whole planet. Or does that mean that we silly monkey-men have not yet evolved and progressed to the point where we are all one cohesive yellowish, black- brownish,reddish whitish bald race with purple goo on our heads and speak a singular guttural language? Although I have to say, if this is a trend for Australia, watching "Crocodile Dundee" with Klingon voiceovers would be awesome!

I haven't reached the point of turning into the next Ted Kaczynski, but I often question the claim that technology has made our lives easier overall. The net effect appears to have been to cause everyone to demand instant access and instant responses to everything, complicate our lives, shorten deadline expectations to ridiculous levels, increase "information overload" exponentially, and ultimately create a helluva lot of stress. Excuse me while I fire up Left for Dead and take out my frustrations on some zombie ass...

A fine match for their disposable e-mails. I have to give kudos to Gmail; my personal account has not seen a single unwanted spam message since its inception. Not one. I used to check the Spam folder to see if anything legit got trashed, but now I just mainly ignore it unless I really want to see anonymous scumbags' assessments about my lack of adequate manhood.

Sometimes when reading Slashdot I find myself taking a step back and marveling at how a sentence like "Mozilla's new Jaegermonkey Javascript engine for Firefox, which will launch on September 1, is faster than Tracemonkey in key benchmarks" actually makes sense to me. It is the 21st Century, and we talk funny.
