        A handsome young Cyborg named Ace,
        Wooed women at every base,
        But once ladies glanced at
        His special enhancement
        They vanished with nary a trace.

          I'm sure Morgan Cyborgs are much more accomodating.

            Wouldn't that be 2*3.14*7540 Tha calculation was correct though. However, sealurks are all curled up, even when coming out of the square, so they may be even bigger

              Well if the Sealurks are that big, then I'm glad I'm not living in a seabase. Googliegod must really HATE the pirates..........

                      Googlie is the expert game scenario designer who was asked to design a new pbem game for this new AcDg. Thankfully he obliged and the voice from heaven descends to earth every so often with words of wisdom and advice.

                      Like God he is everywhere (omnipresent in all factions) and will look at all your posts.

                      He is also all powerful (least in the beginning). Why at the beginning of the universe, with just one thought he destroyed an entire gunsloop and its crew.

                      So 'thread' carefully

                        Googlie is the CMN, creator/moderator/narrator, for the game.

                        See here for an explanation.

                              One question I've been wondering about for a while...
                              Did you get the name of your paper from the movie "The Shipping News", or was it an idea brainstormed independently of it?
