30 Years of SciFiChick

That smile was when I was still 29. ->

Yes, today I turn the “Big Three Oh.”

I can’t believe I’m actually coming to terms with it. I thought I’d spend the day crying.

It does help that I’m taking off to California on vacation in a couple weeks… Planning it around Creation’s Grand Slam SciFi Convention, where Adrian Paul (Highlander), Justin Hartley (Smallville’s Green Arrow), George Takei (Star Trek’s Sulu), and Colin Ferguson (Eureka) are just some of the guests that weekend. And the rest of the days will be filled with reading, lounging in the sun, and family.

We all know that 42 is THE ANSWER to Ultimate Question of Life. Or at least, those of us who have read or watching Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
But here are 13 questions that 42 is also the answer to:

1. How many teeth do wolves and dogs (canines) have?

2. The planet Uranus’ north and south poles face the sun how many years before switching?

3. How many lines are there on each page of the Gutenberg Bible, the first and oldest surviving book printed with movable type?

Once Upon a Time

Carl has released his new challenge: Once Upon a Time. This challenge is on reading from the fantasy genre. He gives four optional quests, all pertaining to reading of these categories: Mythology, Folklore, Fairytale, and Fantasy. Some books, of course, could fall into more than one of those categories.
