So yesterday a photoshopped picture was posted at the expense of a blindman, and now a story about a mentally ill woman in a cow costume? I think there are plenty of other 'neat' things for this blog to get off to, other than posting about things at the expense of people less fortunate.

I am soooo disappointed to see this kind of post on neatorama. The last time I was this disheartened by a neatorama post was the hanging elephant. Why give this post anymore credence? Why not just end it right now and watch the prison inmates recreate Thriller?

While it would be close to impossible to devise a 'true' top 100 list of SF books; I think it is interesting that the large majority of these books were published between 1950 and the early 1980's. I am just curious if anyone has insights as to why this was the case? The cold war perhaps? Or was it similar to how music changed from being original creations from honest instrument playing people to synthetic board room devised club 'songs'. Aka, has the publishing industry itself hindered science fiction?

This is the saddest picture I have ever seen.
