Errr...just testing to see who's awake. You win, Chris. 
Link fixed. (As well as the proper credit for the D&D article. I must have been really tired when I did this. I fear the day when I wake up and see an entire post I have no recollection of doing. Of course, blackout-blogging might provide a whole new interesting experience in itself.)

as you know Bob, both Ridley Scott and Alien are too good to be science fiction, so there's no contradiction.
