@romanhelmetguy@peterrhague That could potentially spurn other countries (China) into action to get to Mars before land is actually claimed. That competition would probably be a good thing.
@Ihartitz That's interesting - most Packers fan actually want to see the opposite, and have him just run routes instead of the gadget stuff that tends not to work.

@ARRGETSTUFFED I've always enjoyed the Sword of Truth novels version of wizards - the lower the level of wizard, the more ostentatious they are. The more learned and practiced a wizard, the more they look like a beggar. (personality can still by flamboyant though, like Zedd).
"Sing me the man, Muse – the one who turned every way, who was knocked from one end of the world to the other after he gutted the holy towers of Troy. He saw the cities of many men and learned the shape of their minds, and out on the salt water he suffered, his heart breaking in his chest, fighting to keep his own breath in him and bring his crew home alive.
Even so he could not save them, hard as he tried. They threw their own lives away – fools – butchering and eating the cattle of the Sun who walks the high sky, and the god burned the homecoming out of their days.
Begin it where you will, daughter of Zeus. Tell it to us too."
@newlooklurker@romanhelmetguy you can do more than that. for a little while i was using it to do straight translation into a pulp/gumshoe/hardboiled style. mixed results
People are allowed to have opinions on historical writings, and disagree with how they lived, or their philosophical viewpoints - the issue is when they try to change what was actually said historically, because that bastardizes our own understanding of history, the world, and reality.
