Something that's been in the news lately has prompted me to correct a longstanding error in the "Concerning Flight" fiver and a few other places. Can anyone spot what I changed?


Meanwhile, here's a link. Vedra recently introduced me to the just-concluded manga series Death Note. It's a fascinating and very original story that reminds me of The Ring in some ways. Several volumes have been released here in translation, but if you can't find them, there are many fan "scanlations" available online (you didn't hear that from me). Death God looks like a good site for general info. If you have any interest in reading the series, make sure you're not spoiled, as there are many shocking twists.


Incidentally, the protagonist of Death Note, Yagami Light, is one of the most deeply evil characters you'll ever encounter in fiction... and the name he takes on? "Kira." Yes yes, it's a transliteration of "killer," but I still think I get an I told you so here.
