Science Friction

Wired magazine provides a list of "10 Science Fiction Films I Cannot Wait to Share With My Kids." No! Don't do it! There's no childhood disease more lethal than sci-fi fandom.

The symptoms are subtle at first. Low-grade fever. Blotchy skin. Compulsive desire to read novels based on Star Wars movies. All treatable with regular doses of Vitamin C and ESPN.

If left unchecked, though, things can get really dangerous. Many is the parent who missed the warning signs. The next thing they knew, their kid was attending DragonCon dressed up as 7 of 9. And that's a fate worse than death.
