    Ahh ... Number of The Beast. The first Heinlein book I read.

    Sovereign ingredient for a happy marriage: Pay cash or do without. Interest charges not only eat up a household budget; awareness of debt eats up domestic felicity. --Lazarus Long

    Wow. I cannot imagine what you thought when you got to the big party at the end - There are more references to other Heinleinia there than in any three histories of 20th century science fiction. Spider Robinson said that RAH wrote Number of the Beast for six million of his closest friends.

            My favourite was always Djelibeybi. (Pronounced "Jelly Baby" for those who are slow like me. It took me most of the book to realise the pun)

            What about Llamedos? I liked the "welsh" unti I realised that it was "Sod 'em all" backwards. Then I REALLY wanted to live there! :laugh:

              Yes and definatly get it! It's great, it's a cross between scifi and fantasy because the one lot of people are compleatly cut off from the galaxy :) and it's still set in The Commonwealth universe :D just 1500 years on.

                        If I get the technology, then I want to live on Sphinx in the Honorverse. This is assuming that they would have cured all the allergies I'm suffering with right now via genetic treatments to my ancestors. Also I want to be a captain of a heavy cruiser or maybe a battlecruiser. I'd like to do this a few years before all hell breaks loose and the kingdom has to go to war. That isn't to say I wouldn't fight for my country, but I'd like a few years of the relative peace of fighting pirates prior to all-out war. Also the gene-therapy of prolong would be nice.

                                Star Trek: Next Generation - Risa, also known as the "pleasure planet". Risa is most noted for the frank and open sexuality of its native population. Identified by a decorative emblem on their foreheads between the eyes, Risians often initiate or respond to the desire for sexual relations through the use of a small statuette called a horga'hn, the Risian symbol of sexuality or fertility. Display of a horga'hn announces that the owner wishes to participate in jamaharon, a Risan sexual rite. Oooo, coach put me in!!!

                                        Ah, but the body is only identified in the later movies, it's anonymous in the original (and best IMNSHO).

                                          The planet Transexual, in the Transylvania galaxy? On a less discomfiting note, Ballybran. Or Pern. Or, if we allow fantasy worlds, the clear choice is.... actually, you know what? Robert Jordan never gave a name for the world on which The Wheel Of Time takes place, did he?
