Wired did an article where they had scifi authors and whoever else write 6 word stories. http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/sixwords.htmlThe best slashdot comment was: Heaven falls. Details at eleven.
-- Robert Jordan Fucker can't even finish a 6 word story. Guess we'll have to buy the sequel.... This one is good too: The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly.

This reminds me of a story I read in an old Science Fiction and Fantasy magazine from the 60s or 70s. It went something like:
"And now" the Professor said to his daughter, all I must do is pull this lever and the time machine will transport us backwards us tranport will machine time the and lever this pull is do must I all, daugher his to said Professor the "now and."
The real version was a lot more entertaining than that but that was the basic idea.

If there's a better magazine about gadgets/tech out there than Wired!, please fess up. And I don't mean category specific mags (ie: I don't want to get 10 magazines just to read about smartphones, gps systems, etc).
Here's mine:
Only our humanity saved us.

If there's a better magazine about gadgets/tech out there than Wired!, Popular Mechanics was always a good read. I haven't had a magazine sub in years, though so I make no comment on its current state. My contribution: Watch out for that ... |

My mind converted this to reducing existing stories to six words.
The Bible:
God is strict, but loves you.
Catch 22
Fly enough missions, go home crazy.
Of Mice and Men
Lenny kills bunny, then Curley's honey.
The Blair Witch Project
Witches are here! No, just psychopaths.
The Star Wars Double Trilogy:
Father like son. Skywalkers are crybabies.
Beowulf:
Danes are broody, but excellent warriors.
My God, I need a drink.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe
