Map the tonal range of the human voice from 00000, the lowest-pitched, to 99999, the highest-pitched. Sing a note into your microphone that corresponds to your postal code.

EDIT: Make it a Base-36 range so as to allow letters A-Z when they are used in postal codes.

I'm friends with enough experienced Shakespeare actors that I want to get them together and perform this.

Can one trademark a brand and then announce that it is immediately public domain so that no one else can ever trademark it? Someone should trademark No Buy Stuff or some such phrase and do that.

"Empty"?

What are the mimics disguised as? Floorboards? Lint?

I was working costumes for a play one time. The play had a scene with a bear in it, so we ordered a bear suit. Not a kinky suit for fucking, just a completely mundane bear suit.

It arrived, delivered to my front door step, in a big brown box on which was stamped in large letters:

##BEAR SUIT: SEX##

I'm pretty sure they meant "Unisex," but whatever. Thanks, costume company.

There was one wrinkle left, and it was bothering me.

Weaponization or dangerous rays are not among the challenges facing space-based solar.

Contrary to appearances in fiction, most designs propose beam energy densities that are not harmful if human beings were to be inadvertently exposed, such as if a transmitting satellite's beam were to wander off-course. But the necessarily vast size of the receiving antennas would still require large blocks of land near the end users. The service life of space-based collectors in the face of long-term exposure to the space environment, including degradation from radiation and micrometeoroid damage, could also become a concern for SBSP.
