[SFCC] I heard about this on NPR's _Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!_

[Sawyer, Andy]

Oh dear, oh dear!  Sounds like someone’s been reading Delany’s “Aye, and Gomorrah!” Still, I expect it’ll be a  bit cheaper than paying $200,000 to fly to the edge of space via Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, or whatever it’s called.

Come to think of it, there’s probably a fruitful partnership which could be set up there . . . .

SFCC-ers,

I usually reserve my postings for more serious issues, but this is too good to miss. A new niche for sf!
