So who is the Australian SF author? And in how many quantum universes was it Greg Egan...

I'm pretty sure about that too. Hell, I wouldn't recognise Greg Egan in a brewery..

Indeed. I know who the journalist is, but am also curious about the Australian author.

Pity they can't spell 'Lilian'...

Yes I noticed that. And how old is that photo? Not nearly glam enough.

Her own fault - she provided it.

Hey, thats unfair, you didn't point out I was number one...

No really. No, Honest...

Oh, OK, they had to take me off the list after news of the forthcoming nuptials leaked, but its true, I was up there...

You could have been a contender!

That was scary. Picking up on my alma mater's love of the number 47 (http://www.pomona.edu/Welcome/Trek/47trek.shtml), and all.

Only 47th? Shurely shome mishtake?

Exactly what I said :->
