Hi all

I am re-reading Lost In A Good Book and I noted an error. Wanting to know if anyone else picked it up and if anyone knows whether it was deliberate.

In Chapter 3, "Cardenio Unbound" - Thursday and Bowden visit Vole Towers where Lord Volscamper asks Thursday which one of her cousins his niece, Gloria is married to. And she replies, "My cousin Orville."

In Chapter 6, "Family", Thursday refers to Gloria as being Wilbur's wife.

Anyone else note that?

I am really pedantic, I know!

You may just be Wright.

Speaking Frankly?

Only when Harold is hanging from the clock.

We could just Jimmy this into an upgrade somewhere....

You want upgrades? Doc Brown would be the lad to talk to there... He did good work on the Delorian...

Wow.... Those were awesome movies.

I haven't seen them yet; I was thinking of going to the premieres. Anyone want to come?

Sure. If you think you can hit 88mph...

No problem. If you want we can even take the car.

I can supply a Mr. Fusion @#$%&, if you want.

Somehow the thought of @#$%& fusion power scares me more than baiting nuclears for energy. (Yes I am pushing it, but nuclear fishin' is OK)

Like Anglo-Indian cooking and jazz-rock, fusion is good.

Fishing is long periods of calm then suddenly all h$%^ breaks loose.

God* bless John Zorn?

*Or Gods. Or pixies. Or Generic non-denominational specific brand deity. Or tinkly winkly fairies.

That's some sharp eyes and a good memory you have there, braex27, but you're not the first...if you check out the appropriate upgrade page that MartinB aluded to (before the topic went impressively quickly off at an angle), you'll notice it's already been pointed out to the Fforde.

Pedantry is always welcome here though!

Is there a contest for how fast a topic can go off at an angle? I'm sure this one would be in the running. unless of course you can a topic that strays in the first post.

by the way...I've been convicted of Gramatical Homicide, and charged 18 years to life, so don't bother telling me about all the spelling mistakes. It's already on my record.

I'm pretty sure if that had happened anywhere, it'd be on this fforum...

Topic? We have those here?

I can not say I have noticed....

We call them Snickers, now. I prefer Mars. Or Yorkie.

To paraphrase Solon, Topics are for the guidance of the wise and the blind obedience of fools.

So are we all wise, or fools?
