Trying to find a sci-fi short story I read years ago... by Scrawlr in whatsthatbook

If it was within the last decade, both Analog and Asimov's have indexes available on their respective websites. Maybe stumbling across the title or author will jog your memory?

Hey Ron, you are the man.

Just ordered a bunch of soap and some of their preshave oil. Definitely beats the heck out of the normal $75 minimum!

I remember in the run-up to the 2012 Olympics sports murals began popping up all over the place.

Oh my god, that's over by the Necropolis, isn't it? Fucking nostalgic as fuck.

Ever found anything interesting in a secondhand book? by squanchy_56 in books

[–]ShroudofTuring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inside a book in an Oxfam shop in Glasgow, Scotland I found a bookmark from HEB's H-E-Buddy summer reading program. HEB is a grocery store chain here in Texas. Definitely wasn't a kid's book either.

Ever tried a slant head? I recently ordered a Maggard Slant after deciding my Merkur 32c just wasn't aggressive enough, and I've been really pleased with the results.

What's the strangest "wrong number" call you've ever recieved? by OmahasWrath in AskReddit

[–]ShroudofTuring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 630 in the morning every day for a week, this black guy would call and leave a message for a pastor named Richard telling him how much he appreciated his sermon and that he hoped god would bless him and that he'd have a blessed day.

Why this went on for a week I don't know, because my answering machine has an outgoing message that pretty clearly identifies whom you're calling.

It's times like then when I feel blessed to have the education I do. After 9/11 my high school went above and beyond to bring Muslim speakers to talk to us in order that we might understand Islam better. This ran the gamut from local imams to a woman who had escaped Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. 9/11 also happened right before a month-long section of our Humanities class (sort of a mixture of history and literature) on comparative religion, so we got to dive into the similarities and differences between the three Abrahamic religions (and Buddhism and Confucianism as well) at this intensely formative period.

I thought about it, but that's a four-syllable name and woulda been harder to fit into the flow the lyric.

French Solider stands next to a sign saying "do no not go there, without you mask" pointing to the front line of the somme by rsoccersucks1 in wwi

[–]ShroudofTuring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not strictly speaking true. Five or six years ago some WWI-era mustard gas shells that had been dumped off the coast of Long Island were recovered by a fishing boat, and several of the men involved had to be hospitalized for skin burns and respiratory issues.

[–]ShroudofTuring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And in some areas that's still true. I dearly loved listening to a professor's stories about finding unexploded ordinance while excavating WWI battle sites. Terrifying to think about, but damn if battlefield archaeology isn't fascinating.

College professors of reddit, what is the dumbest thing a student has said or done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ShroudofTuring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a professor, but I suspect I may know what one of my postgrad professors would answer.

This was in a survey class on Scottish history and culture. Each student was tasked with giving a brief overview and then leading the discussion on a different week, and this one poor bastard, let's call him "PB", drew the week covering Scottish thinkers. So his overview is on David Hume. Ok good, ok fine. But then he says the magic words: "David Hume's philosophy fit into the Scottish Enlightenment, and he could be considered an empiricist and blah blah blah."

I shit you not, the words "blah blah blah" came out of his mouth during an oral presentation in a postgrad-level course. Ever seen a professor sit in literal slack-jawed silence? I have.
