I think that's the first time I've been mentioned in a Dutch newspaper. What about the rest of you? I think it's nice to see that journalists have discovered our little treasure trove of useful facts, and I think we should all make an effort to ensure that everything we send in to the list is entirely true. Honey of Belle and Sebastian had his original doctoral thesis, an in-depth study of the possibilty of a war beyond the stars between the Clangers and Ken Dodd's Diddy Men, and the results of such a catastrophe on the earth's core, rejected outright by his university supervisors.

Highly recommended. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
