And then there&#8217;s other stuff that wouldn&#8217;t even fit into a sentence that went on as long as that last one.\n<\/p>\n<p>My rediscovery of humorous science fiction started with Henry Kuttner&#8217;s <em>Robots Have No Tails<\/em> and it isn&#8217;t done yet with the stories of Fredric Brown, only because there are so many of them. So I&#8217;m really happy to see people continuing that tradition with all-new stories in this crowdfunded series of anthologies. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/776571295\/unidentified-funny-objects-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Be the first on your block to own one!<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With stories (so far) by David Gerrold, Mike Resnick, Gini Koch, Jody Lynn Nye, Tim Pratt, Esther Friesner, Shaenon K.
