Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: QM - Mab's Experimental Punch Bowl

I'm reading an article on new scientist entitled '13 things we don't know'

Yes, it does. I still cannot figure out where the bread goes when one makes toast. Or all the socks the dryer eats. Or why men have nipples.

And, of course, the question of the ages, why is the rum always gone?

Would have won big. It is interesting, the horse was bought for $9,500. The second place horse cost $3.2 million.

I guess the owner got a good bargain.
