Two books by Edgar Rice Burroughs arrived for us at the library this past week and today presented an opportunity to pick them up. Both are stories about Mars. I took the time to look around the stacks (which only really qualify as shelves, to be honest with you) and found a Reginald Hill mystery I haven't yet read, and a big book of U.F.O.s by a man who lives in or near Winnipeg. I am trying to "follow" his on-line internet web log (blog for short) but the "blogging" program does not make this easy. It is also difficult to search for blogs. I'll have to do a search for searchers for blogs, but right now that seems tedious.
Still have not officially communicated my desire to leave my mouth to science. Will call the school for dentists before the year, nay, week is out.
Another discovery: "Marvin" the Martian, of Looney Toons fame, was only given his name quite some time after the original episodes in which he appeared were broadcast. He was only named to improve merchandising profits. In the episodes he is actually only referred to as "Commander of Flying Saucer X-2".
"Commander of Flying Saucer X-2".
ReplyDeleteThank you. Tid-bits galore!!! Positively fantastic Faunus.
Just remember sir...."the Earth obstructs our view of Venus".
I am a wee bit distraught as of sudden...."live-action Marvin the Martian starring Mike Myers." How utterly devastating!
