The book was about a war veteran who was resurrected from a crystal thingy, he goes on to meet a crab alien brain that gets installed onto his ship. Pretty sure the brain's name was Flute. Regardless, there was also a lady who turned into a mechanical centipede, and so on and so forth. I read thi...

Remembering a short story I read when I was about 8-10 (this would have been 1981-83).(yeah, I was a weird kid) :) I could have sworn it was in OMNI magazine, but it could have been in the Asimov Digest or something else.

I am currently replaying Alan Wake, and the way I understand it, the basic premise is: However, what I don't understand is:

I think it was a 90's show. I've done all the searching I can think of. I want to say it was Babylon 5 or Space: Above & Beyond, but I just don't know. I remember thinking it was kind of funny to add 'space' or 'star' next to butt instead of calling them a-holes or whatever. Lazy sci-fi writi...

The Cheela live at 67 billion gs and are not microscopic so it is easy to calculate how much work it takes a Cheela to lift an object (which if it were the size of a grain of salt would weigh 67 million kgs). I understand that their metabolism is based on nuclear not chemical forces but did the a...

A small group of marines were taken to another world to help prevent the emergence of a demon that is awakened by torturing a victim. There is a powerful wizard with them who cannot directly attack the enemy, but uses a flash of light in place of a flash grenade at some point in the story. The vi...
