Well, it's your novel, so you can create anything in it. It's fantasy, right? Anything goes! And it's not a bad thing that magic is present. Look how popular "Lord of the Rings" is. I liked that series as much as any sci-fi novel.
So, go ahead with the magic premise in it. It can work.

Classic stuff here!
Ever here of Bill Engvall's "Here's your sign"? That really tells it all.

I didn't know that rocket science consisted of making vague insinuations and linking to wikipedia. Not even the Wikipedia entry agrees with the departed Moon Man. In fact, what others said of the N-1 is also said on Wiki. Appearently, MM failed to read it.

My take on these... The neck is senstive to temperature changes. Undoubtly, this is an evolutionary hold over. I imagine it goes like this; When we listen to sound, our brain processes that data. If we're in a situation that requires more concentration, such as finding the right road, we turn down the music so that we don't have that distraction, and thus allowing our brain to devote more processing to finding the right road. Possibly an evolutionary hold over; if something doesn't work, try harder! Could be a way of claiming ownership. That evolutionary hold over stuff again! Possibly a pychological effect to make someone believe that the gift doesn't cost them money. Not everyone is victim to this. Some people just don't see the obvious. I imagine that some people just need tactile confirmation of what they've just read. Probably a "safety in numbers" thing. Evolution strikes again! Same reason for the remote control 'thing'. Probably a "benifit of doubt" thing; the person probably doesn't want to assume that the button was already pressed. Likely another evolutionary hold over. Also, might have to do with how babies react; the goal is to get the baby to imitate the adult. Thus, when we open our mouth, the baby should too. Could be that a whisper is considered more private and trustworthy, as it's directed specifically at one person. One that speaks loud is directing the conversation to a general audience. Just the laws of probability! Just procastination in action!

I read that Jay is busy with something. Don't know what.
Perhaps his skills are in high demand somewhere. For all I know, he may be working on the new lunar missions.

Ask Bob, he doesn't buy the its not hot or cold in space either. www.cbc.ca/quirks/askbob.htmI can prove I'm Cluas, just leave out a cold Canadian and it will be empty when you wake up Monday morning. Show us somethign that says Bob disagrees with what is known about temperature in space. Back up your claim. As for the Santa Claus thing, you are either playing with us, or you are just a kid thats trying to act tough.

I know the toughness of military life myself, though it was navy, not army that I served in.
Looking back, I know I could've done better than what I did. But no sense in worrying about the past. Besides, got the GI Bill out of it.
Will you get that benifit too, AG?

David, your relience on videos and links is pretty sad indeed. When will you ever speak your own mind?
