Rudyard Kipling
Cory Doctorow
Dan Brown
Mary Shelley
Lewis Carroll
James Joyce
Ursula K. Le Guin
J. R. R. Tolkien
J. R. R. Tolkien
Cory Doctorow
Anne Rice
J. R. R. Tolkien (okay, I get it)
Arthur C. Clarke

Interestlingly, inputting "Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores Whores" gets you not Frank Miller, but James Joyce.

Mostly H.P. Lovecraft, some David Foster Wallace, the occasional Cory Doctorow, Arthur Clarke, and Jonathan swift, plus, I'm ashamed to admit, on one occasion, Dan Brown. I notice these are all fiction writers, whereas I mainly plugged in nonfiction writing, so it could just be the case that only Lovecraft used more semicolons than periods.

Is this the same system that came up with Stephanie Meyer for Simo Belmo because it has the word "vampires" in it?

I dunno, I had a bit with the word 'vampire' in it and it gave me Anne Rice for that section.

To Eat a Triceratops, Tear it Apart

Paleontologists now think they know how the predatory Tyrannosaur ate the well-protected Triceratops: by ripping its head off.

To be fair, when's the last time those of us who are omnivores ate anything that didn't have its head posthumously removed?

Classic issues of Omni Magazine now online for free.

From the effusive boilerplate:

Quote
Anyone remember Omni magazine. I was a charter subscriber back in the 1978. It was a neat mix of science fiction and science fact. It also—as I remember—had some neat artwork. I don’t remember much more, but according to Wikipedia, “in its early run, OMNI published a number of stories that have become genre classics, such as Orson Scott Card’s “Unaccompanied Sonata”, William Gibson’s “Burning Chrome” and “Johnny Mnemonic”, Harlan Ellison’s novella “Mefisto in Onyx”, and George R. R. Martin’s “Sandkings”. The magazine also published original sf/f by William S. Burroughs, Joyce Carol Oates, Jonathan Carroll, T. Coraghessan Boyle, and other mainstream writers. The magazine excerpted Stephen King’s novel Firestarter, and featured a short story, “The End of the Whole Mess”. OMNI also brought the works of numerous painters to the attention of a large audience, such as H. R. Giger, De Es Schwertberger and Rallé. In the early 1980s, popular fiction stories from OMNI were reprinted in “The Best of OMNI Science Fiction” series and featured art by space artists like Robert McCall.”
