I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is LJ always dead on Sunday evenings? It's baffling. I'd have thought most people would have net access at home by now, so it can't be a 'can only post at work' thing, and I'd also expect people to be in on Sunday evenings since it's a school night, kicking around at home and potentially thinking of interesting things to post. Is it that you can't spod without the thrill of the forbidden, the threat of the boss popping up behind you? Is Sunday your sacred night to spend offline with your real-life people? Is it just that no one goes online because they assume no one else will be there?

...No, I'm not procrastinating. Why do you ask?

I just barely saw your tektek person the other night before it disappeared (kawaii!) and I did wonder if you were still at work!

The Muse has showed up at last, and she wants me to find out the maximum velocity of large oceangoing fish. She's an odd woman.

What is the maximum velocity of large oceangoing fish?

[undyingking.livejournal.com]

African or European?

Take your pick.

That's the same article I found. How did I ever write anything before there was an interweb?

It seems to be thirty or forty miles an hour, tops. Small fish that leap out of the water can get up to sixty or so, but all in all it looks like I'm going to have to come up with some sci-fi gimmick for my ultra-speedy sentient alien fish that goes as fast as a bullet train :)

Going through water fast is pretty tricky, because of the immense resistance. Even modern submarines struggle to get much past 30 mph, and they've got chuffing great nuclear reactors pushing them.

Damn you, cool and funky creatures which pop up in my imagination and then turn out to be physically impossible!
