ER was a great show. Maybe this is why he decided to wrap up the show this season.

I remember reading Andromeda Strain when I was in high school (I was a library rat). Thrilling, urbane stuff.
Then, of course, how can we forget the judicial use of T. Rex to unclog that flush in Jurassic Park of an unsightly lawyer...priceless!
After an exciting night, a sadder'n hell day. |

I don't know many authors who could write about Vikings fighting Zombies from the viewpoint of a crazy Arab, and make it awesome.
RIP

RIP | I liked the book and though the movie didn't exactly follow the book(how many really do?) it was pretty good.
