When the figure walked through the big doors to the chairman’s office, two crossbow bolts passed through it and splintered the fine woodwork.
“Well, you can’t blame a body for trying,” said Mrs. Lavish.
I AM NOT CONCERNED WITH YOUR BODY, MRS. TOPSY LAVISH, said Death.
“It’s been quite a while since anyone was,” sighed Topsy.
THIS IS THE RECKONING, MRS. LAVISH. THE FINAL ACCOUNTING.
“Do you always use banking allusions at a time like this?” said Topsy, standing up. Something remained slumped in the chair, but it wasn’t Mrs. Lavish anymore.
I TRY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE AMBIANCE, MRS. LAVISH.
“The ‘Closing of the Ledger’ would have the right ring, too.”
THANK YOU. I SHALL MAKE A NOTE. AND NOW, YOU MUST COME WITH ME.

Look for Lurky, he’s there… Lurking…

The year is 1965, and thanks to telecommunication engineers at our Jet Propulsions Laboratory, the first color version of one of our first Martian images had been created. Brought to life by hand coloring numbered strips, this image is a true blast to the past.
Fast forward to the 21st century and our Mars InSight mission now enables us to gawk at the Martian horizon as if we were there. InSight captured this panorama of its landing site on Dec. 9, 2018, the 14th Martian day, or sol, of its mission. The 290-degree perspective surveys the rim of the degraded crater InSight landed in and was made up of 30 photos stitched together.

Are there like… any other parents on Vulcan? Like are Sarek and Amanda single-handedly raising every single child they encounter? Every child who sets foot on the planet now belongs to them? Like they meet some other Vulcan’s kid and go “hello, I’m your parent now” and then just take off with them? Is that what happened?
Sarek at the mall: “Sir, madam, I do not know your name, but but I see your son/daughter seems unfulfilled by your bond, constraining his/her philosophical development. As our offspring’s relationship with us is demonstrably superior, would it not be logical for you to surrender custody?”
Other Vulcan: “Your reasoning is cogent and flawless. Live long and prosper, son/daughter. I shall use the funds that were to pay for your schooling to purchase many plush robes in which I will ponder existence more comfortably.”
Vulcan child: “An excellent plan. Thank you for begetting me.”
I know it’s been a while but the funniest part of this for me is still “Sarek at the mall”
