Yeah, that’s most likely the real reason that old people take cruises, but it’s not that interesting to write about.

It’s an interesting thought. My great uncle and his girlfriend constantly go on cruises. But they have a different reason for doing so than Hemingway: my great uncle has great difficulty walking anywhere (just a few metres is hard work), and a cruise is a relaxing way to see the sights without having to do lots of walking. Driving isn’t an option, because he recently had a car accident due to a heart attack (mild thank goodness and no one was hurt) and he sold the car. Buses and other public transport things are difficult to get on and off, but ships are easier.

Thanks. I don’t know why, but sometimes things seem to be more loosely connected in my head than in most people’s, and I tend to make strange connections between things which sometimes lead to amusing results. Oh, and also, instead of dismissing the ideas (“eh, that’s stupid”), I think “Now how do I stretch this idea even longer?” Just the way my mind works, I guess.

Yeah, don’t list all the reasons here. That belongs in another post.

Why yes, I certainly do think Han shot first. Han’s morality (immorality?) is what makes him such a loveable character. He’s human, and… sorry, I was about to list all the reasons why I believe Han Shot First.

I do love Omelets… Mmm… omelets…

Great, I was going to go to sleep, but now I have to go to iHop!

@Melissa: Hehe, I knew you would like the post.

@Walter: Of course, I was writing this in a tone-in-cheek manner, but really, books can change people’s lives, whether by giving us another perspective or by letting us experience whatever we wouldn’t have otherwise.
