      very cool
      <Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

          Wasn't that an Asimov idea? Or was it Clark who thought up of it?

            Asimov never wrote about it (IIRC), but Clarke did in Fountains of Paradise.

                      A few years ago, I've read an article in "Spektrum der Wissenschaft ", the German edition of Scientific American, which dealt with alternative ways to lift space cargo. Some really interesting ideas.

                      What scares me is that the greatest part of the energy is taken from the rotation of the earth. Ok, that's not really a problem unless we plan to send a sizeable fraction of earths mass into space.
                      Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?
