h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In the sci-fi book by Neil Stephenson, the female character named Y.T. (meaning Yours Truly) has a device in between her legs called a dentata. After a rather graphic sex scene, its use is revealed. As a last defense, it injects narcotics and other drugs into the unsuspecting male.
I had always wondered where this word came from and now I know. Thanks!

No, I've not read it. I expect now I will sometime.

Thank you.

Wait! Who thanking who here?

What's that supposed to mean? Gaaa!

Im glad im not the only one who thought that, laziness prevented me from getting up and looking it up, oddly enough the same made me find the answer

It is quite a good book, isn't it?

If we actually had tech like that I wouldnt be bored with the cyber universe and id probably still be skateboarding.

How so? You think you'd get it hooked into your brain too so you can feel like you're skateboarding?

Question about the book: Wasn't there a driving, moving MALL? I swear there was, but both my parents (who also read it) disagree.

Okay, it's overdue, but I'm halfway through it now. No driving mall, as near as I can find.

Very, very interesting piece of work, particularly for 1991.

I am very grateful for the recommendation.

I think it may be somtwhat later on in the novel. It's where the samuria guy finds the foriegn man who gives him a lot of important information concerning the evil bomb guy's past.
You're very welcome.
