A soft, bearly audible sigh escaped from HongHu's lips. The earthlings are so improbable some times. Perhaps they really deserve the fate they are facing ...
* HongHu put on her uniform, while reflecting what had happened before her eyes.
How was that possible? Her knowledge about the earth tells her that it is thousands space years from them getting hold of that ability. ... Somebody must have stolen the aging technology from the HongHu Empire ... Who could have known about it? And who has the capability of stealing it?
A clue:
* HongHu somehow feels that she would not stay here for long ... Oh the darn outerspace senses. She would rather not have them sometimes. |
very suspicious

Wouldn't you, Space Empirians, have some rejuvenating technology by any chance....?

I think I may have solution to that mystery, but if I'm right it would be really a masterpiece. As a person in lalaland at the moment I should probably keep my bio-wavelengths silent

One last note on movies. These rating goons still exist. An except from a current website that tells a little of the history.
quote:
The Legion created a rating system as a guide for Catholic filmgoers and the public at large. An “A” rating meant the film was morally unobjectionable; a “B” rating meant that the film was morally objectionable in part; a “C” rating meant that the film was condemned and that Catholics were forbidden to see it. According to Fr. Frank Poncelet, founder of a Catholic anti-TV apostolate, any Catholic who knowingly attended a “C” film would have committed a mortal sin. In his book “Television: Prelude to Chaos”, Fr. Poncelet tells us what it was like in those days:
“Soon the ratings of all movies were printed in virtually every diocesan paper, and it was the practice of all good Catholics to check the Legion of Decency rating before attending a movie. One movie with a ‘C’ rating is extremely important to note here, and which this author recalls very clearly from the list in approximately 1940. ‘Gone With The Wind’ was rated ‘C’, but was receiving great raves in the papers and on previews. A few of us wanted to see ‘Gone With The Wind’ and approached our pastor asking for an exception to the rule. We heard that its rating of ‘C’ was too severe; that others considered it OK to see. His reply was swift and short; in fact, only one word with two letters: ‘NO’. We did not attend the movie, but many others did, and it marked a change in the strict adherence to the Legion’s rating system.”
“Gone With The Wind” was condemned by the Legion in 1940 primarily because it undermined the sanctity of marriage, and because Rhett Butler spoke a single profanity. Today, most Catholics have seen or heard this much before breakfast — if not on television, then on the radio during the morning commute. If ‘Gone With The Wind” was a danger to Catholic faith and morals in 1940, how much more dangerous is 90% of television and film today! Most of our favorite films would not make the grade. Indeed, the six o'clock news would not make the grade.

Sorry for the distraction, but I always found this amusing.
