Hey, I already "got" Lia.  Thats a +1 for my Quarian count.

I'm calling the police. <_<

I smiled, --for what had I to fear? I bade the police welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. Lia, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search --search well. I led them, at length, to her chamber. I showed them her treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which she lay, bound and gagged.

What the hell am I reading...?

Poe.

And somehow... I am not surprised.

Nice reference.  I just popped in, so I have to ask is this a story you've already written, or something you're working on?

And make one for Stephen King, too. I find him hilarious.

I was sensing EAP....

Telltale Heart, yes.

Y'all be right.  It just seems so perfect.

For the curious.

Oh good, so I did get the reference and am not, in fact, losing my mind. Good to know.

SWM: Yeah, go hide behind that little bottle thing instead. They're safer.

Kikai: Ahh I have the med-bay all to myself. Now, where does Chakwas keep her booze?

SWM: That brandy? Please. That Tupari machine must be here somewhere. I know they'll give you some strong stuff if you ask them nicely...

Well, i wikied it last year when I did a history essay on battleship warfare.  Does that count?

Nope!  You win!

The Iowa class BBs must have been boring for such an essay, seeing as they were nothing but mobile gun platforms for shore bombardment and (later) missile launchers.

Actually the Iowa was used mainly for its AA role for fleet support, their main guns where used very little, but when they where they devistating. Infact the Jersey broke from her carrier group to provide assistants to another fleet which engaged the ****** fleet sent to take them out. When "Big J" Showed up the battle switched in favor of the US as the Jersey's guns helped in sinking the ****** fleet. The Iowa wasn't really a full fledge BB like the Bismark, or Yamamoto, they where Fast Battleships the quickest battleships ever built. This is why I had started building a design of these ships for a reintroduction into the Mass Effect Universe.

  

You know that Is not a bad idea, I was reading the  Codex entries and the Alliances likes  Carriers  faster battle ships more so then the large Dreadnaught class ships which the Alliance fleet only has 8 of each named after a Mountain on Earth,   Fuji, Kilamonjaruo, Everest,.   The frigates are named after  major battles  example the Normandy and in my Story its Sister ship the Mdiway.  I think the carriers would be named after world Leaders  Presidents and Prime Ministers, the Cruisers   my guess would  Cities and the Battleships would be Countries and/or  States 

Dreadnaughts are Battleships. WWI Dreadnaughts became Batteships in WW2 take a look a some of the old ship classifications size and tonage increase as well as gunsize between the gunships of the line.

Not so much on King myself, but the family legend is that I'm related to Poe somewhere on my mother's side.

A clever reference, but no.

This foul practice cannot be allowed to continue.

indeed time to ge the cleaners.

I'm sorry, but whenever I see this Warhammer reference, I can't think of anything by the Xtacles (from Frisky Dingo).  Their armor is just too similar.

As others are surely saying, no.

a. Poe's writing is not as distinctive as HPL's, which makes for poor imitation.
b. His writing also lacks the continuity useful for a longer run of things.
