One of the great things about the Culture novels by Iain Banks is the names given to the enormously powerful ships.
And the web being as it is, has a full list on fount of all knowledge Wikipedia.
Two of my favourites is the General Systems Vehicle 'Of Course I Still Love You' and the GSV 'No More Mr Nice Guy'. Great names...
An excellent film...! It presented some really interesting moral dilemmas and the downhill spiral that The Joker's philosophy presented was intense. Half way through I thought 'but this isn't as good as the first one', but in the end I think I shall have to think again...
And of course, the unstoppable force, immoveable object question as posed by the joker is also posed in the Iain Banks novel Walking on Glass which is a very fine book. I'm not sure I really understood what was going on in the end, but sometimes that isn't always necessary: it is enjoying what is going on whilst you get there...
My new favourite book of poems (although I admit I've not had many). Hovis Presley passed away in 2005 only aged 44, but has left a fantastic book of inspired poetry that deserves reading.
