Seems Donovan Galatea has decided to leave SL!

Should you be reading Dono - best wishes to you and I really hope you decide to return - your presence is missed.

Wow, if this is in fact true, I am shocked and really saddened. Donovan is one of the most intelligent and creative people I have ever met, and frustratingly moderate :) I have enjoyed the time I have spent with him immensely, and I do hope he reconsiders departing from SL.

Best wishes, Donovan. You've been one of my favorite forum posters. Thanks for the always thought provoking discussions. Hope you come back soon.

Wait I thought he was in space???~!~
He has an active thread here...about being close to 600,000 meters up.

Is that the same Donovan? Sheesh... why?

I killed him.

After he came down from space, I made him get a pedicure for those toes that looked like rusted satellite.

:D

Is he the person who built the Emerald City, the elven ship, and the tree raindrops and flower at Burning Life? Oh, he's very good and I'm sorry to see him go.

Um....

Err....

Ah....

Dramatic rumors of my departure have been grossly exaggerated. As chronicled on another web site, I was lost in Second Life space for awhile, somewhere above ten million meters by my reckoning. However, I was saved by several well-meaning if somewhat hasty friends and an auburn-haired angel with a devil's tail, and recently brought back to (second) life.

Ah, but the things I witnessed up there! There's a....There's....I can't talk about it. I refuse to engage in the drama.

;)

dg, as one of your "hasty" friends, i'll tell you this. if you ever get lost up there again, i'll organize another rescue party to come find you. and then i will kill you. and wear a red dress to your second death funeral.

Donovan came back from his astronauting trip in pieces.

I don't know whether to start on his head and work my way down; or start at the toes and work my way up.

All I know is that he now has eyes in his bellybutton.

Let's just say that he now has an interesting view of all the female AV's in SL. :)

I have to wonder what would happen if I swapped out his thumb with his big toe.

You'd get his big toe in your eye, and his thumb in your butt. Make sense? :)

Holy cat turds!!!! So if an AV flies straight up to over 10,000,000 meters, you reach... There

I always thought they were two completely distinct metaverses, but apparently there is a connection.

Awesome job, Donovan... To discover the portal between OUR world and There's is an incredible feat.

That's what all the bright lights, the singing, and the barely-dressed choir girls were about? There!?

I thought it was Vegas.
