Illuminated Site of the Week
April 17, 2009: Illuminated Site of the Week: Please Allow Six To Eight Decades For Delivery
Someone's been leaving pyramids lying around all over the world like discarded lottery tickets. The planet's lousy with them, in fact, and Professor Robert Schoch thinks he knows who's at fault. Like a tribe of seafaring Johnny Appleseeds, a mysterious group of primordial masons has been all over the world depositing these monolithic wonders at each stop. If his books don't sate the appetite for knowledge, take one of the professor's courses at Boston University.

Warehouse 23 News: e23: The Human Condition (Also, Buy Our Book!)
The human race has never been one to be complacent. It's not enough to scale a mountain. It's not enough to sail an ocean. It's not even enough to break the pull of the planet's gravity and stick a flag on a ball of rock orbiting our home. Nope, we just keep setting our sights higher. Or further. Whatever, direction in space is relative anyway. The point is, we want Mars! We can't have it quite yet, however, so we'll just have to make do with pictures and our seemingly endless imaginations. And books like GURPS Classic: Mars, which collect those imaginative thoughts into a conveniently corporeal form.
