NOG: Jake, you know, I’ve been thinking. After we’re done eating, we could take the females to the holosuites. I borrowed one of my uncle’s private programmes, The Massacre on Ferris Six. We could spend an hour pillaging and looting the frightened townspeople.
RISKA: I don’t think so.
NOG: No one’s asking you to think, my dear. Here, make yourself useful. Cut up my food for me.
RISKA: You must be joking.
(Nog laughs so they all join in, relieved it’s a joke.)
NOG: She’s so dumb. She’s perfect.
RISKA: That’s it.

Appalachian English

spaceshipsandadventures

I took a linguistics course last year and one of the most important things I learned in that course is that dialects usually considered “sub-standard” (in English these include African American English and Appalachian English among others) follow sets of rules and do have their own grammar and especially that they are able to **communicate the same information** as the standard dialect.  Being from West Virginia has meant that if I slip into the accent when I’m in Raleigh, drop the g on my present participle, or use some slang, bring up the redneck jokes, as speaking this way conveys a lack of education.  When I’ve seen extraordinary displays of ingenuity, openness and community in my state, it doesn’t sit well with me that the dialect associated with it is seen as inferior.  But what we learned in linguistics was that if a dialect does communicate the same information, it is valid.  So my fellow Appalachians, continue to drop your g’s as you discuss thermonuclear astrophysics:) Destroy the notion that these are incompatible character traits.

Behold the Moon, photographed during NASA’s Apollo 15 mission, July 26-August 7, 1971.

See what I love about this photo is that from this angle you can really tell that the craters are from large impacts, and you start to comprehend the magnitude of a force that could shift rock as if it was a liquid.

It’s alarming when you realize that could be where you live on Earth right now as opposed to some lifeless vicinity of the Moon.
