Would it change your tumescence level to hear that the 2004 and 2012 Transits of Venus play a minor part in Thomas Pynchon's next novel? They say it will be his most encyclopedic work to date --- over 256 MB, all ASCII text --- covering everything from sly jokes about the Lewinsky scandal to the coming Age of Robot Overlords. It's slated for a Fall 2240 release.
