Only 104 years ago today, Albert Einstein's physics paper on special relativity was published. Daria will demonstrate the basics points here. That should make it clear enough, except for the added distortions of time and space which are covered elsewhere.Of greater importance, though, is the 12th anniversary of the premiere of "The Big House" on MTV. And we still don't know with whom Daria was out that late at night. Had a yellow car, though. Not a taxi.
The Tunguska event is 101 years old today. Happy birthday to you, you big lug of a non-crater, you. And the Corvette Sting Ray (thanks to smk's correction there) is 56. Wonder why none of the characters in Daria ever drove one of these. They drove everything else.
In the art department, MDetector5 offers a new perspective on Quinn that I think all fans can get behind.
BAY STATE DARIACON time is almost here! Get ready!
RUMOR DEPARTMENT: Yesterday a fan named Kate wrote that someone heard that Daria might come out on DVD next year, according to this rumor. We can only hope! Oh, wait, that means I have to keep this blog going for another year. Well, fine, whatever. MTV, if it's true, THANK YOU!

It will come out on DVD at some point, if for no other reason the inevitable 90s nostalgia/retro cool wave (although sadly the music will likely be butchered). Fortunately the hardcore members of the fandom will be there to make sure all the new (and returning) fans get to experience one of the deepest and most sophisticated bodies of fan work out there.
In an odd note, while Einstein won't be making an appearance in LSBS Act III (Parts 1 & 2 of Ch.10 posted sometime mid afternoon CDT 6/30 I swear!!!) Freud and Erwin Schrödinger will play parts in the story!!!
What, no James Clerk Maxwell?
Was he the one with that silver hammer?

Yep... the hammer is just one piece in the Quantum Mechanic's Toolkit!
Wasn't the whole point of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" that someone bet John Lennon he couldn't write an uptempo song about a serial killer?
I'm fairly certain that Paul wrote MSH.
Don't forget Maxwell's Demon!
How about Maxwell House?
Don't forget it!
I think this series of replies has given me a useful excuse next time I get way behind on LSBS...
I'm not actually behind. Given Schrödinger's theory the story is in a state of completion and incompletion simultaneously. The temporal perception of completeness on the part of the reader may be purely illusory.
Yeah, I never finish anything, either.
Or Maxwell Sheffield...who of course employed "the Nanny named Fran." *smirk*
Here is some confirmation about a 2010 "Daria" release, along with a screen capture from the "State" DVD set.
