A man, a plan, and a fish that would change history. Learn the secret identity of Christopher Columbus and the true meaning of his ships’ names, in the book that the Vatican doesn't want you to read: “The Da Vinci Cod”

Samuel Beckett’s homage to “Finnegan’s Wake…”:
“Krapp’s Last Tap”

Like Samuel Beckett, Mark Twain enjoyed the intellectual challenge of writing a work entirely in French. Replete with blistering existentialist dialogue: Which way is the raft headed? And does it really matter? Slip on your black turtlenecks and read the book that has perplexed generations of students. Soon to be a major (but very short) motion picture: “Huckleberry Fin”

Hi Gary,

let me be the first to welcome you to the nuthouse. If you have lurked, you will know that you are welcome to whatever is available by way of food and drink, and you can make yourself comfortable at the treehouse, where it is usually quiet.

Following ibborobb's lead, I started thinking about Sigmund Freud's great work on the society's dislike of organised gambling: "Tote & Taboo"

As an aside: the missing letter thing: The Quakers' building in Cambridge UK used to have 'The Society of Friends" in black letters on a white wall. When I was there the letter 'r' from the last word was missing.

Much more satisfying.

Ah yes, and wasn't the original title of the film "Chariots of Fire" going to be "Land of Hope and Goy"?

Now that the days are quickly shortening (here on the Northern hemisphere, that is), some of us might look forward to 'A Winter's Ale'.

EgonSpengler proposed Shakespeare's 'As You Like I' back in 2009, but those heading for Summer on the Southern hemisphere may envisage 'As You Lik It' (an icecream - my blushes if you interpreted differently).

Also for the northern winter: A Midsummer Night's Dram.



It just came to me, like tinea, that wiv the pronunciation of some individuals one could quite easily have the saga of the skaters: The Lord Of The Rink

The Lord of the Rink, which as we know culminates in "The Return of the Kink" (starring Tim Curry as Aragorn).
