Data is more than an android...

(Today's first topic may be offensive to some readers. Viewer discretion is advised).

For some reason lately the topic of Data and sex has come up. We all know that Data is fully functional, but the stuff behind it is causing people around me to talk about his love life. First, we know he had sex with Tasha. The question then became, did he know when to stop? Did she get "loveburn"? Was there a "Data stream?" Did his technique seem...mechanical? Also, this led to the next batch of questions. How did he get ready? Is there an android "Cialis"? Is he even attracted to women or does he qualify as bisexual or even try-sexual (as in alien species?). And why was he programed fully functional in the first place? Did Dr. Soon have an android fetish? If so, why didn't he create a female android instead of Data and Lore? At least with data, one didn't worry about disease or birth control...

OK enough, this is a topic we never need to talk about again. From now on, we will only discuss Buffy's sexlife, which seems to be a little on the cold side.

I was sad to find out that Wizards no longer has the license for the Star Wars games. Just as I was acquiring the sources books for the Saga Edition and trying to get people interested, I have the game cut out from under me. There are rumours out there that the Wizards subsidiary of Hasbro is going bankrupt and that maybe some of the game product will be sold. Will that include Magic and D&D. Only time will tell and I guess I have to keep staying tuned. Most things I am reading on various chatboards with regards to 4th edition complains that too much product is coming out for the game. I seem to remember that was the same complaint that led TSR to go bankrupt in 1996. Back then, the problem was that there were too many different game words (like Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Dragonlance, etc...) and now the same complaints are starting to creep up again. (I saw a Dark Sun product coming out, as well as a Ravenloft Board Game and Of course Eberron and Forgotten Realms.) There are 3 products coming out on one day in October alone. That's crazy. The revenue pie doesn't seem to be getting bigger.

God, I love the Simpsons. The Gummi Venus de Milo!!! Pop Rocks and Soda actually explodes. And Homer harasses someone (yeah right.) Shouldn't Marge know better? He doesn't even really show interest in other women.

Anyways, I digress, have to put the wee one to bed.
