But the chain of evident.
It could have been contaminated.

It could have been contaminated.

It was. With his semen.

No...I mean with it being stored in an average NON SEALED shoe box or trunk with a bunch of other items. It could have rub off from other evident that the doctor had. Some detective or people who work a case in a big murder sometimes keep mementoes or items from the case. They useally have it all in the same box.

Tried Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazatzakis, got too angry with it after about half of it, didn't finish.

Read Golem XIV by Stanisław Lem, enjoyed it immensely.

Reading The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie now, so far so good.

Just Finish Reading Stephen Kings "The Mist" book.
And unlike the movie, the ending did not suck.

How much did it suck?
This Much.

Finished Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead for summer reading. I found this quote, and it almost stopped me in my metaphorical tracks:

-I don't believe it matters to me- that they're going to destroy it. Maybe it hurts so much that I don't even know I'm hurt. But I don't think so. If you want to carry it for my sake, don't carry more than I do. I'm not capable of suffering completely. I never have. It goes only down to a certain point and then it stops. As long as there is that untouched point, it's not really pain.

-Where does it stop?

-Where I can think of nothing and feel nothing except that I designed that temple. I built it. Nothing else can seem very important.

-You shouldn't have built it. You shouldn't have delivered it to the sort of thing they're doing.

-That doesn't matter. Not even that they'll destroy it. Only that it had existed.

How much does this sound like a Sub9 reference? I thought it was pretty damn cool. (although the temple in the story is slightly different..but still. A freikin temple.)

A quote like this, in my opinion, belongs perfectly in the Subnet. But of course that's up to MS I just thought it was cool enough that y'all should know about it.

Just finished "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", good read. But I like film version more

I read the book. Quite interesting

The Frog bit at the end was a bit depressing, was it not?
But to be fair, I like the book version better.
While the movie does do a fantastic job filming the story, I find the Original to be better.

Cause, unlike 1984, where we know who the oppressor is without question, the Book display conflict, rather the plain truth. As to where the line ends and begins when it comes to whether or not the Androids are the same as Humans.

I just feel like, film version make it easy to relate, by cutting the bits that would feel too weird(conflictive?) for the massive public of 80x(and current time too?), like Mercerism religion, the need of people to care of animals, "special's" , etc.

But I don't really sure, I will need to rewatch Blade Runner again, and read book again too(maybe in original?), to have final thoughts.
