Works for me - and I've noticed that your book list at the very end is missing "The Timekeeper's Daughter"...

np: Mogwai - R U Still In 2 It? (DJ Q Remix) (Kicking A Dead Pig (Disc 1))

For those of you who can still access it via Scribd - and I'm still wondering why it's asking you to "Go Pro" to read it - over at the following URL:

For what it's worth, I can view it on Scribd just fine, but it won't let me download it without paying. Personally, that works for me.

...And now I know how Brandi felt as she was putting together the bowling ball disco light.

the entry for Bud has some wrong info... the Poit-Tapestry wasn't time travel related, as i think that Tepoz was fibbing a bit, in order to get Monica to leave it alone, and those bananas and the signature were forgeries... also, when Jin moved the half that was inside Bud, she didn't move it to the gun-runners den /marketplace... that was the OTHER half of it that was there already. Jin moved her half to her own apartment.

The time-travel aspect of the tapestry we may never know. It's entirely possible that the tapestry had an "access-way" to one of the portals of the library, or some such thing.

Of course, it also could have been powered by Bellisario's Maxim.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I see what's going on here.

You have to sign up to be a Scribd member - either via Facebook (if that's your style) or by creating a Scribd account - which, theoretically, should be free.

Seems that way; I was already logged in to Facebook when I checked out the document and was somewhat startled to see myself logged in to Scribd automatically. As with most sites, the very basic membership is free; if you want to actually DO stuff, you gotta pay.

Is the scribd version of the list kept as up-to-date as the wiki version? (Which, yeah, could be better - but at least is easy to edit.)

Scribd is much better maintained than the wiki version. I don't do much with the wiki as I probably should.

Can't help myself - "Extra Dynamite" is the trade name of a safer form of explosive - ammonium nitrate based - that isn't as heat sensitive as the traditional nitroglycerin-based "Dynamite". HOW MUCH less heat sensitive, I have no idea. I got curious when I saw Paul's graphic background - where the heck did he find all those different dynamite box images?? and educated myself on explosives while I searched.....

Two threads over...

And one thread down.

And straight on till morning.

I was just reading through some old post a and realize that several of us are referring to Katherine as Dr. Gilcrest just because she mentioned that she had several post graduate degrees. The problem with the assumption is that everyone refers to her as Ms Gilcrest and not Doctor. I would think that if Paul is not using that designation then she has never written a doctoral thesis and just has several masters degrees in her chosen fields of study. There is no real difference except she is may not open to most management positions like the museum director Dr. Fields has.

Sorry the thought has been gnawing at me for the past several weeks of the Stargate arc.

The thing is, Katherine specifically says she has a 'doctorate degree' here: (http://wapsisquare.com/comic/pickedlast/) so I think that's where it comes from. It's just taken this long to have anyone in the comic refer to her formally and not just by first name.

Ok, I wish to change my stance to she has a doctorate, but it may be a Miss Manners sort of thing we are facing here. In some circles people only think a Medical Doctor should be called Doctor while others should be referred by their actual title such as PhD or Professor instead of Dr. Either way you can legitimately call Katherine by both titles of Dr. and Ms.

My father (Doctorate in Chemistry) said that he knew when a letter from a school was to judge a science contest--those letters were addressed to Dr.; all others came to Mr. . . .

All righty... I've got the Scribd version updated to include our two new characters.

Yeah...like "You must pay to see more than the art on the first page" kind of trouble.
