An Etaoin Shrdlu Limited Edition - BestScienceFictionStories.com

Nick Thompson

All,

I also remember a sf short story about a very hot summer in NYC in which the termites began to eat the steel girders.

did you order a copy?  I appreciated the irony of this edition being printed with hot type...  though I suspect the original edition in 1940 was too... there weren't a lot of options in those days (could have been hand-set cold type instead).

According to my 9/11 conspiracy friends those termites were Genetically Engineered by the Illuminati and placed in the Twin Towers by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney personally, so that when the airliners struck them, they would collapse completely rather than just be smoldering stubs on the skyline.
