First past the post: Happy Birthday Rockets and Reptiles, Happy Birthday, Jules Verne
There seems something appropriate in launching Rockets and Reptiles on Jules Verne's birthday. Born on February 8, 1828, Verne's oeuvre encompassed aspects of both scifi and fantasy, and his enduring influence on speculative writing can't be overestimated.

Whats interesting among other things is that the electric rifles used in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were later (1969) revisited by Thomas Cover when he invented the TASER, which is an acronym for Thomas A Swifts Electric Rifle. Tom Swift (Swift by name and nature!)being the teenage hero of the juvenile scifi book series launched by Victor Appleton (a pseudonym) in 1910, and obviously referencing Verne.
