Soylent Red

Picture me with a humorously over-large cigar perched, unlit, between my lips. See it resting slightly to the side, leaving me limited room for speech. Keep that image in your mind. Now, "I love it when a plan comes together."

So here's the plan. I'll buy an iPod (check). I'll cram all of my music onto it (check). Something's missing. I need some audio that isn't music. Eddie Murphy is no good to me now; I know his shows by heart. I need the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So should I click on that little green 'K' and see where the wonderful world of file-'sharing' takes me? Nah, I think I'll just wait until the BBC releases all of its TV and radio archives online, for free. Oh, I'll have those early seasons of Red Dwarf too, if you please.

This is certainly more attention grabbing than that story about running Linux on a Furby.
