James Bond loses his gun. Lol I don't remember him using a gun much. Except in the worst 007 film with the fantasy island dude and he dropped his gun off a scaffolding. Mostly I think of Bond as driving cool cars, drinking martinis and having hellabitches. The bad guys usually blow themselves up. Opening credits always use gun stuff though.

He died pretty soon after I went to his book signing on Sunset in Hollywood. Bookstore was across from the Hustler club. I was standing in line to get into the bookstore. Apparently he left after signing like 10 books so i didn't get one. But it was even better because when he left his black escalade peeled out of the parking lot and screached to a stop right next to me. Back window comes down and it's Hunter Thompson. He yelled at me "Fuck you, George Bush" and this 20-something girl next to him leaned out and fired off a bunch of photos from her camera with a long lens, the old ones where you could hear the shutter. Like paparazi window went back up and they sped off. That year i was going through a divorce and subscribed to Hustler mag. There was an issue with suicide photos right after Hunter Thompsons death possibly included Thompsons photos. Would not surprise me one bit if he set that up before blowing his brains out, or maybe Larry Flynt offered cash. Hard to say. I dont have that issue anymore.

Given there are so many ways to reproduction in nature across a number of species with their pros and cons, both asexually creating clones, parthenogenesis aka virgin birth as a middle option, and sexual reproduction with mixing of gametes (sperm and egg), adding new ones to what is available to humans using science goes to something very deep in nature.
