I’ve never tried bin lang. It seems disgusting.
I did rob a bank and kill 6 people though.

I just finished reading the story “The Thing” was based off of … John Carpenter kept pretty close to the story tbh. He improved upon it of course, but it wasn’t far off.
John Carpenter was the man

Agreed. If you search through some of the references provided you can clearly tell which information is suspect and which isn’t. I find that most of the historical shit on there tends to be pretty accurate, although sometimes it’s too vague or broad.
In fact, my rule of thumb is basically that any opinions stated on that site should be doublechecked via the references. If you go to wikipedia thinking that you’re going to get all the info you need about the Emancipation Proclamation or something like that then you’re fucked. But if you use it as a starting point and then explore the references provided you should be just fine.
Actually, I recommend that my students use wikipedia as a starting point for certain historical issues/episodes if they know absolutely nothing about the subject matter. It’s good enough and usually accurate enough to provide quality background information for a student who has no clue what the hell happened at Pearl Harbor or something like that.[/quote]
Good post.

Yeah, that’s a good one.
I recommend a short story written a few years ago called “The Things” which is the movie but from the Thing’s point of view! It’s online somewhere.

Dude, that’s magnificent! I’ll have to read that … The Thing is one of my all-time faves … actually almost anything by John Carpenter up until the 90’s
Yeah, he had a great streak there where he could hit the right nerve. I mean even in the less than stellar Prince of Darkness has that transmitted dream from 1999 thing. That scene itself is worth watching the whole movie for.

Had never heard there was a short story from the opposite POV.
Found it here :
Read it, enjoyed it a lot, even if it’s by a different dude that wasn’t affiliated with the movie, imagining it as true adds a whole new layer to the movies.
EDIT: super saiyan beat me to it.
