no central theme here, sorry

I noticed at the end of the credits for Hellboy II a disclaimer stating that the portrayal of smoking is for artistic purposes only, and is not to be taken as an endorsement. Interesting.

Liquid smoke is weird stuff. It's like 3 days of (car) camping concentrated in a little bottle! I had no idea the name was so literal. It's actually condensed smoke! I had always assumed it was some cheesy synthetic flavoring.

I'm staying up tonight to start another Ondarra story. I've been meaning to for a few weeks, but a plot only solidified this morning. Major historical inspirations for this one: Charles Babbage, The Mechanical Turk, and maybe a bit of John Harrison.

Yeah, I noticed that disclaimer, too.

The thing that also got my attention was a rating blurb... as in, they'll state the rating and in the same box, give the explanation.

I don't remember the movie, but for this one it was something like:

PG: For depicting scenes of tobacco use.
