That's fascinating. Where "fascinating" = "marginally interesting because it's sorta Sims-reminiscent". (I read the whole article anyway... wth.)

SO, you discovered this because... I assume you have a new project or something! Or something. Bored?

In a roundabout way, from reading about Project Orion, from here: http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ask-an-astrobiologist/question/?id=20608

...because I needed to know all about the coming Nibiru 2012 doomsday apocalypse. So, yes, bored! ^___^

Holy crap, speaking of the doomsday thing that's supposed to happen this year! I just woke up (it's not even 8AM here yet) from a dream that you were in. We were somewhere... I don't know where, there were a bunch of people gathered waiting for something (the end of world maybe). You had arrived there in an RV, and people kept asking for your autograph (lol). You invited me in and we were sitting at the dinning table across from each other. You told me you were 52 years old (but you looked 32 to me) and I watched you draw incredibly detailed adventure maps for D&D games. o__O Then the RV started rolling on it's own! I jumped behind the wheel (while you pulled all the blinds down for some reason...) but it wouldn't stop, it just kept gaining speed. I woke up before it careened into a pit of lava.

Nuka cola in the tags? Is that the reference I think it is?
