Cyborg Theory

Dear class. I apologize for my absence. The brethren have called me into the field and I am tactically doing away with a little annoyance of ours. His name is Thor, btw. HAHAHHAHAHAH. Please take a copy of the reading Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson. This short story – made into a deliciously terrible film staring the illustrious Keanu Reeves – is actually quite good and is a morality tale about the dangers of mixing the human brain with cyborg components. It also has a skeeeerrryass dolphin. And the best female character ever written. OMG PROTO-TRINITY HOW I WORSHIP YOU.

Also, I must note if you enjoy the story, the conclusion is in Gibson’s novel Neuromancer.

Anyway. I must be off.

xoxo

"You know, the comic book hero? The one with the blonde hair and the big sledgehammer?"

"I know about the mythological god figure named Thor -- there's a comic book hero version as well? But then...who is our professor setting off to kill?"

"The comic book one. The one with nicer hair than you."

But...he's not real.

"Just because there's a comic about him doesn't mean he's not real in some universe. Look at The Tick."

"The actor who played him in Adventures in Babysitting. She's a big fan, and, well, he completely butchered the part."

This would be why Sam's never put in charge of the cover story.

Lee looks at Sam a little funny. "What?"

"Um, never mind," she says, blushing. That explanation isn't going to do anything but make her look even more stupid than usual.
