Just to clarify a touch. Yes and no. Harry finds out in Blood Rites, but Thomas had already known since before they met in Grave Peril.
Guys, if you want to talk about cat lifespans, just ask, and I'll happily split off a thread for you. Otherwise, try to keep the Timeline thread free of chit-chat. Thanks!
The oldest cat I've met was 25, and I've known several who were in their twenties. I believe the world record is something like 38 years old. Remember, age itself isn't a disease, it just increases the likelihood of various diseases occurring. If a cat dodges the bullets of kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and arthritis, they can be quite active for a lot longer than you'd think.
Or maybe he's just part kneazel... ;-)
Something that might be worth adding to the timeline, but its a little different from the rest since its rather speculative.
Jim has said that he intends to do 20 Dresden books followed by an apocalypse trilogy. Well so far the books pace at between 1/2 and 1 1/2 years between books. If they stay on pace that puts the Apocalypse going down at in about 5-14 years or 15-24 ASF with the average being at around 19 ASF. its a pretty wide gap, I know, but its something we can be fairly sure is going to come around.
Not sure its something that fits the timeline, but every time i get somebody new hooked on these books they always ask me if anyone knows how long its going to last ans such, so the whole 20 books + apocalypse trology tends to come up a bunch
"Turn Coat," eleventh book in The Dresden Files, is released April 7, 2009.
This is, of course, par for the course regarding Sci-Fi's mind-numbing skill in defecating on its own dinner plate.
If something works, it has (if they're lucky) one half-season in which to be judged as worth keeping...sometimes, they have a show that inspires loyalty of a size not seen since Trek (Farscape/Stargate SG-1, anyone?), and they STILL cancel it!!!
Why? Because several sources have said that Sci-Fi's CEO positively HATES science-fiction; the decision to put wrestling on the Sci-Fi Channel was ranking right up there with offering Roseanne Barr a singing gig! Wrestling and Sci-Fi go together like a peanut-butter and battery-acid sandwich; truly, the demented vision of someone who hasn't the intellect of a lobotomized coconut!
