A Krell STOP sign?
Confused?
If their alphabet is as big and complicated as Dr. Morbius says, I would be confused too! |

Part of school is learning the right words:
We learned in Current Affairs about the e. coli outbreak in a near-by town. I thought this was appropriate:
In arts we are getting ready for Hallowe'en (correct words, remember?) and are going to decorate the school:
All this, and the change in the weather, has me wishing:

I just couldn't resist. The photos just whispered these captions in my ear.

Actually King (the dog's name) loved to do weird stuff.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super-calloused-fragile-mystic-hexed-by-halitosis. |

Actually he was:
Frank "Rocky" Fiegel (January 27, 1868 - March 24, 1947) was a real-life person from E. C. Segar's home town of Chester, Illinois who (like J. William Schuchert and Dora Paskel) inspired a Thimble Theatre character. In this case, Popeye.
Frank Fiegel, nicknamed "Rocky", was a well-known Chester individual. Something of a local legend, he supposedly had an inordinate strength and often participated in fights. Like Popeye, he smoked a pipe and was toothless. He is said to have been kind to children as well.
Since 1996, his gravestone bears an engraving of Popeye's face as he first appeared in Thimble Theater.
E. C. Segar also based Olive Oyle and Wimpy off of real people in his town.
