Answer with the name and the "etymology" of the name. Science fiction and fantasy fans, this is an easy ten points for you. I'm bored and feel like spending five points to give you ten, and to put Philip K Dick up on the board.

Horselover Fat or Horselover Fats?
Philip from philo (love) lippus (horse)
Dick from German (fat).
Anyway, you get the points, Blade Runner.
BTW, Blade Runner is still my all time favorite SciFi movie, and PKD in my all time top ten SciFi writers.

Have you read The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch? Talk about a book that was before its time. It's my favorite work of science fiction.

wow, cool, i didn't know that. i just saw Blade Runner the other day, but i still think "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" was better. they cut out almost all the philosophy to make it a movie.
