A few weeks ago we picked up all five seasons of Babylon 5 at CostCo. I've been reveling in them a few episoides at a time (Great Maker, I need to do a Centauri costume) and have reached Season 3.

Where I found a funny.

Passing Through Gethsemane is one of the strongest of the stand-alone episodes of B5, in my opinion. The story concerns the order of monks who have come to B5 to study alien religions. Specifically, Brother Edward, who experiences a series of events that make him question who he really is.

The funny comes when Edward asks the computer to do a search on the following parameters: A black rose, the phrase "Death Walks Among You", the name Charlie or Charles, and a murdered woman. The computer announces that the search will take four hours.

I guess Google went out of business.

Speaking of Google, go there and enter the following: Zodiac, Benicia, San Francisco Chronicle

What comes up, how many hits, and how long did it take? Assuming that B5 has a complete library database, the phrase alone should have led Edward to the answers he was seeking.

Just amusing that they would put up with four-hour searches.

Found something oddly disturbing when making the map for the last post.

Go to this map page. Click on Street View.

That's the house I grew up in. That window on the left was my bedroom for a very long time.

Very odd feeling.
