Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

ReplyDeletewouldn't be able to fly with that kind of drag, though!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't heavy, just strong, and the barbs, and barbules hook into the flesh of the target.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am making all this up as I go along : )
It's true that those parts of a feather are called bards, and barbules though.
