Thog's Masterclass. Dept of Longevity. '"Peters, we are over a million years old!" he announced quietly. "When we were caught up in that double-sun explosion, we must have been carried along in its giddy orbit for over a million years! We were kept alive simply because we were in an air-locked compartment and did not do anything but sleep for most of the time, thus conserving our energy and our bodies to allow us to behave now as if we were normal men."' (Terence Haile, Galaxies Ahead, 1963) [via BA]
• Dept of Geophysics.

' (Colin Wilson, The Philosopher's Stone, 1969)
• Dept of Nebula Winners. 'Kaye could hardly stand sitting.' (Greg Bear, Darwin's Radio, 1999) [PV]
