Devilbunnies? Man, I haven't heard that name in a long long time. I used to be obsessed with reading all the stories in that universe. Never contributed anything though.

To be faaaair, authors usually don't have any control over the cover design; that's the publishers decision.

Movie? That happens in the original book.

Does it not also happen in the movie?

You usually cite the original story

You also usually cite what you know. Maybe OP has not read the book.

Well, I've read a translation of the book. If that scene was present, it made no impression.

It's not very comedic in the book. You can see for yourself: it is the entirety of chapter 47, here: https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1257/pg1257-images.html#cha... .

(Interestingly, I would have said that the translation I read came from Project Gutenberg, but it wasn't the one I just linked and no other is currently available there. Does Project Gutenberg take down existing versions of out-of-copyright books sometimes??)

If the book is out of copyright is the translation also out of copyright?

Edit: apparently not. So Gutenberg is hosting whatever they legally can, which is older translations.

There are multiple older translations, but Project Gutenberg only has one at the moment. I'm conjecturing that they used to have a different one (also out of copyright; that's their whole thing), but have taken it down for unclear reasons.

It's also possible that I found a free translation of The Three Musketeers somewhere else, or that I read the same version PG has now and have misidentified it as being different.

Ah, okie dokes.

Asimov's and Analog are struggling too

There aren't many people left who've been that close to the moon. Lots of people would love to be on that list.

At my most recent EMS job ("ambulance driver" is considered insulting), the younger people couldn't navigate anywhere without mapping it. Some of them brought up being amazed that I could get to every hospital in our area from pretty much anywhere without having to bring it up on my phone (random houses and nursing homes were a different story).

The funny thing is this study only looked at non-EMT ambulance drivers - i.e. those true ambulance drivers!

Complicated, expensive CPU marketed to very high end workstation use? Nobody thought it was worth picking up even if it was faster than the alternatives.

Far right totalitarianism and far left totalitarianism have a lot in common.

Man I wish the Xenosaga games would get a rerelease for a modern console.
