Do you remember 9/11? Did you ever watch Rugrats before that stupid dill kid showed up? Have you ever seen an original Playstation?

My God I can't imagine...

Yes No Yes. The first one was a defining moment in my life, and I never got into Rugrats.

Can't wait to prove all the 2012 fanatics wrong.

IIRC, you were one of them.

Hey, in 2010: The Year We Make Contact, it was retconned to Jupiter.
So, it's either Saturn once or Jupiter twice.

I do not remember 9-11, but it happened when I live in Pennsylvania, so a bunch of peepz in my family saw it. Anyway, my mom was driving me home from somewhere and BOOM!

I have seen the really old Rugrats, yes. And I OWN an original Playstation... MECHWARRIOR FTW!!!

That's because Arthur C. Clarke didn't have the balls to enforce his own Canon. DAVE BOWMAN ENTERED A STARGATE ON IAPETUS! THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER DISCUSSION!

Hey, didn't you read the afterword to 3001, The Final Odyssey?
He doesn't consider the books straight sequels, just stories which use the same characters and similar events.

Or did you not notice how he retconned the Europa Landing date in 3001?
