Bishop Hill Quote of the day
Dec 17, 2009 Climate From the University of East Anglia media relations page:

You can't have science fiction without creativity!
It is even more humorous on a deeper level. Creative writing courses take money from gullible people based on vague and probably undeliverable promises.
Haha, oh dear. Classic!
