I thought you were kidding about the buggers, CP3S. Maybe you are.

Jesus wept! I also thought it was a satirical joke from mr CP3S. But no, I just looked it up and the Alien's in Card's 'Ender's Game' are really called "Buggers".

I think you and Mrebo thought I was joking on two entirely different levels.

I just learned early today from Bingo's post that Card's aliens were called buggers and was pretty shocked. You seem to see the joke as it being too unbelievable that Card would name his much hated aliens that, which is how I felt.

I think Mrebo thought the joke was me providing the definition of it, and thought I was making it up the meaning.
