I found a rather telling/annoying mistake even before CERN was mentioned. The curator's assassin uses a gun that clicks when empty, but is loaded with a clip. Clips go into automatics, which lock open when the last round is fired. They also throw brass that he would need to collect, or leave a lot of evidence. Revolvers click when empty. Sure, I suppose you could make the argument he was using a revolver and loading with full-moon clips, but that's rather esoteric for people who don't spend much time with firearms.

For that matter, did anyone else notice that to write DvC, all he did was open A&D in his word processor and use the "find/replace" feature for names and places?

It's been a long time since I've encountered people that have even heard of the tradition of putting out shoes tonight. I used to do it way back when I was a kid and we were stationed in Germany. I miss this. I'll have to do something about that when I finally have some kids.

I discovered Mafia at Odyssey this year. Well, The-Never-Ending-Odyssey really. I had a blast. In the end, it came down to me and two ladies. I had to choose who was the last Mafioso and convince the other to vote with me... We got lucky.

Jasper Yup. I found that out on our trip to England (while we were stationed in Germany). We saw the statue of him, and a bridge he built in London. Too bad the boat was cut up and sold for scrap.

I'm not sure which child we came from, but my grandmother's maiden name was Brunel. I should ask next time I see her.

We're related too.

My grandmother traced us back to Reverend Brewster on the Mayflower. Not so far back is Isembard Brunel, who built the first transatlantic steamship.
