God must have something seriously cool in pre-production, he's really gathering up some heavy duty concept artists.

While working for Humanoids I did the translation for one of the INCAL books (Un-credited, of course). Moebius' work was visually stunning to where you din't need to read the words on the page but just enjoy the art; each dot and line. A real loss but very thankful he came into being.

Google his name and be amazed.

Dr. Leila Denmark

The world's oldest practicing physician when she retired at age 103, died Sunday in Athens, her family members said. She was 114.

What's weird about that is her age. 114. During the 20th century life expectancy nearly doubled. The number of people living past 100 has skyrocketed but the total number of people living past 114 has stayed the same. . There are very few documented cases of people living past 115.

I'm on course to live to be 116; I'll let you know how it goes.

Didn't I read something about many of those centenarians in Japan not being quite so alive as the neighbors thought?
