Heinlein maneuver?
I guess I am just being lazy about blogging, but between the long drive and having to readjust to the East Coast, I am not feeling terribly creative. Which makes me really glad to have found another wonderful test -- this one from the mysterious, multifaceted Ghost of a Flea. It is called "Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In?" -- and my research assistant Justin Case damned well better evaluate this test, because he's the scifi freak, and I don't think there's much he hasn't read. Anyway, here are the results:  You belong in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. You value freedom above all else. You would fight and die for your family and your home. Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In? brought to you by Quizilla Thanks Ghost! The results look very flattering, and now I'll have to ask Justin what's up! But why can't I be the cat who walks through walls?

Love it! I ended up in Starship Troopers, though (sigh). That's just the age we're in, I guess — Islamofascists instead of Bugs. I think it's a huge oversight, however, leaving Glory Road out of the running! Michael E. McNeil · September 4, 2003 01:41 AM Wow, Michael, what a pleasure it is to hear from you! I read your inescapably thorough analysis of the depleted uranium non-threat, and all I can say is that I hope you are being paid a HUGE salary by one of the leading think tanks in this country. If not, then that is another example of What Is Wrong. Eric Scheie · September 4, 2003 07:30 PM |

It's all part of gamma radiation exposure. Walking through walls is only one of many super abilities which resulted from the accident.
I read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" when I was eleven. In fact, it was one of the first sf books I had ever read. Time for a re-read!
