Wasn't that a movie called Strange Brew?

I'm reading the Flashman books by George Macdonald Fraser which are tremendous. It's not a superhero or anything as you might think. It's actually largely humourous novels that present a take on the various calamitous events of the 19th century British empire through the eyes of a fictional character, Harry Flashman. Highly recommended, I give it 4 sugarless gum sticks out of 5.

The only thing I know by the name of "Strange Brew" was recorded by Cream.

Reading Lomachinsky's stories right now. He used to be a medical examiner for Justice Department in Russia, then moved to United States. Right now he's in Iraq as a civil contractor (as a doctor, if I'm not mistaken) working with the Army. Some crazy shit, both from his old days and from Iraq. Like, about a jet pilot whose brain boiled and exploded under extremely low pressure, his eyes boiled, and his arms were cut right off by an air stream. Or the one about a man killed and cut into pieces by a waterjet cannon used to clean the tunnel in subway construction.

I am simultaneously flattered and offended.

That was one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen.

I'm reading Umberto Eco's Il nome della rosa.

Hey.. just finished reading that book by Umberto Eco. I have actually liked it, it's really well written, especially the part where Adso makes love to a girl. Now reading Foucault's Pendulum by the same genius.
