Remember this thing? Monty posted about it a while ago...we weren't really sure if they were serious.

Well, guess what?:

I wonder if they'll need a staff librarian?

If that things sinks...

Hmmm. That gives me an idea. Bult 100000 more of these, and sink 'em all. That'll get rid of the excess population of the world.

Hmm...every Ayn Rand devotee on Earth located on one ship? I wonder if we can convince them to build another one for L. Ron fans.

Well, there's a coincidence... Someone at the library yesterday was looking for an Ayn Rand book, and now I hear the name again here. Who is Ayn Rand?

What, have none of you ever been disaffected adolescent intellectuals?

Ayn Rand was an author and philosopher, whose mildly kooky philosophy of Objectivism has attracted some really kooky folks. You can read all about it in such works as "Atlas Shrugged" or "The Fountainhead".

And she's just all over the net with such sites as:
"College of New Jersey's Ayn Rand Society"
"The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies"
"Center for the Moral Defense of Capitalism"

The band 'Collective Soul' named themselves after a line in 'The Fountainhead'.

I don't seriously think this project will ever see completion. It just seems to be way to ambitious. However if it does come to be I will be thrilled because it is really cool.
