Late to my own thread!

  'They believed that prediction was just a function of keeping track of things. If you knew enough, you could  
   predict anything. That's been cherished scientific belief since Newton.'

  -Ian Malcolm, Jurasssic Park
If you've read pretty much anything I've written, you can see why this quote would interest me. I was rereading Jurassic Park this morning (Been a summer reading list staple for years) and this line just JUMPED out at me. The world lost something very special when Michael Crichton died.

I'm glad people like these threads, I'm excited to read them!
