Hey, Beam Me Up episode 141 is a double stuff! First off the mark is a funny tale that posits, what if all life in the universe is non-biological? Or at least not carbon based like Earth-life. How would they react to "thinking meat"? Ron reads Terry Bisson's "Their Made out of Meat!" For my part, I read the conclusion to Paolo's The People of Sand and Slag" which really is probably the most disconcerting part of the enviro-nightmare tale. And again I can't thank Mr. Bacigalupi enough for letting us read this great story. In between the two fine tales is the blog! Dave posts an article that indicates Mercury and Mars were made of leftover material, did dark matter create the universe?, Is KFC frackin serious?, Models of fighting robots that are ummm well built?, and robot B9 loses someone very close to it. That and more silliness. Enjoy!
