ospalhHuh. I thought the “Twin Squirrel” Stross used for the helicopter was some nickname. Turns out the British just translated « Écureuil 2 ». 🤷🏼♂️ (It’s the twin-engin variant of the Écureuil → Squirrel.

I think the book came out just a few month too soon.
Stross goes on at length detailing the workings of a British Nuclear (H-Bomb) demolition charge, and doesn’t mention chickens even once.
The #ChickenNuke reveal was on 1 April (hah!) of 2004, and Atrocity Archives was published in 2004, too. Possibly in January.

So, to the parts i liked.
Bits like this. (With paleo-nazis around.)
Our Hero sees “some kind of small vehicle, like a weird cross between a tank and a motorbike”
Me: Oh, you mean a Kettenkrad
Another character in the novel: ‘“Cool, I always wanted a Kettenkrad,”’

Oops.
I had red Charles Stross’ “Rule 34” a while ago. The second book in the series.
Now i started his “Atrocity Archives”, the first in his famous series.
Took me a while to realize they ar from *different* series. 😅
Never mind. Rule 34 was good, and so far Atrocity Archives is great, too.
Anyway, that means i hav even more books to read.

“‘This is an M11/9 machine pistol’”
The weapons instructor seems to like his M11. Let’s look it up.
“(T)his isn’t a good gun. It’s not a useful gun. (…)The Cobray M11/9 could best be described as one of the most useless handguns in existence.”
Allan HaverholmØl, Ævl og Superkultur, fase to (del 2)
Det er med glæde, vi kan præsentere sidste del af vores podcrossover med Øl og Ævl-podcasten! Denne gang bliver værterne personlige — ikke mindst Mikkel, der deler hans egen historie om en helt, der viste sig, ikke at leve op til forventningerne. Og så går Øl og Ævl-gæsterne ufortøvet i clinch med den svære disciplin som er… “hvad har du set siden sidst?”-runden!
Samtalen om problematiske kunstnere fortsætter direkte efter afslutningen af forrige del, så sørg for at lytte til dén (og Superkulturværternes tidligere besøg i Øl og Ævl), før du går i gang med dette afsnit.
Download afsnittet her eller abonnér på podcastens RSS-feed! Du bør også gøre dig selv den tjeneste, at abonnere på Øl og Ævl; det kan du gøre her.
