Ooh, ooh.... Fahrenheit 451!
(shhh.... I'm trying to stay off and with family, but been checking what's been up on here from phone every so often to not be swamped when I get back (pfft... besides... it's awesome here ;P) and when I saw your latest, I just couldn't resist excitedly perking up at a clever title I was fairly certain I knew... ;D)
