I’ve seen this movie. Tomorrow the Culture blows up Vavatch us? Given the news lately, we probably have it coming. Good knowing you all. See ya at the Damage finals 
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.

tempting to sail it to a lake on an island (canal access?), install a big tub of water on it, float a cruise ship, float another boat in the cruise ship’s pool, tub of water on that one, flatboat in the tub, augmented reality sandbox on the flatboat, and so forth

I seem to remember that the Culture likes to preserve planets for their biological and planetological diversity (or sentimentality). If they evacuate us all to their socialist utopia, they can have the planet; they’ll probably take better care of it than we have.

Are you kidding? They’re all a bunch of godless perverts, and illegal aliens to boot! I say the good old US Army should pay them a call. What knife-missiles?

I am not surprised the ship can hold that much. I am surprised the other ships are made to stack like that and the bottom one can hold the weight of the others!!
