Too many to know how many. I used to work late into the night in central Vermont, and would often stop on the way home to just watch an aurora display. There's just something about this phenomenon that grabs me.

You guys in North America are so lucky to live closer to the magnetic pole.
I live on a higher latitude (50+ ° north), and never seen northern lights here.

Already we have turned all of our critical industries, all of our material resources, over to these...things...these lumps of silver and paste we call nanorobots. And now we propose to teach them intelligence? What, pray tell, will we do when these little homunculi awaken one day announce that they have no further need for us?
