One horror story could be that the towing equipment malfunctioned while towing a Lincoln. Maybe the tow chains snapped suddenly, causing the Lincoln to roll dangerously. Another might be that during towing, the vehicle was damaged due to improper handling by the towing crew. For example, they might have hit the Lincoln against a pole while maneuvering it.
Well, iceberg towing in science fiction can represent a technological feat. It shows how advanced human technology has become. Maybe it's part of a larger plan to terraform a planet. By towing icebergs, they can change the climate and water distribution of a new world, just like in some space - colonization themed sci - fi books.
I'm not sure if there are extremely well - known ones specifically about iceberg towing. But some environmental - themed science fiction might touch on it. Maybe in a story about future climate change solutions.
We don't have any clues from this short statement to identify Ted precisely. He might be someone from the speaker's personal life, or it could be a name used symbolically. Maybe the speaker wants us to focus more on the idea of death and the connection to pulp fiction rather than on Ted's specific identity.
Camille Seaman, a photographer, showed her photos of her five years of chasing the storm in a TED talk. These photos showed amazing surreal changes in the sky. She had seen the supercell, which could produce hailstones and typhoons the size of grapefruits. There was only a 2% chance of this phenomenon. Camille Seaman realized the power of awe by chasing the storm, the power that created the universe and us. Her speech video had 3124 views on the TED website, 9 bullet comments, 86 likes, and 11 coin flips.
I've heard of a horror story where a Lincoln was towed in the rain. The towing company didn't cover the vehicle properly. So, the interior of the Lincoln got soaked. There was water damage to the seats, the electronics, and the carpets. The owner was devastated as the cost to repair all the water - damaged parts was extremely high. And the towing company refused to take responsibility for it, claiming it was an act of nature. But really, it was their negligence in not covering the vehicle during the tow.
Ted Chiang in his best stories often has a slow - build - up style. He takes his time to introduce the setting and the characters. In 'Exhalation', he first sets the scene of the strange mechanical beings and their world before delving into the deeper concepts. His style is also very detail - oriented, which helps the reader really visualize the strange and unique worlds he creates.
Ted's Luncheonette in 'Pulp Fiction' is a location within the movie. It might be a diner - like place where some of the characters could potentially interact, have conversations, or where certain events related to the story might take place.
