You know, anti-gravity arch supports, super traction heels, stuff like that. Or maybe, among his other skills, Avon has a degree in podiatry and gets to put everyone's feet back together at the end of a long day, not to mention deal with all the warts, corns, in-grown toenails, etc (ewww). No wonder he's so crabby ("For the ten thousandth time, Jenna, if you jump off a cliff in stiletto heels, expect something to break when you land," or "Blake, don't you think it's the least bit suspicious that Jenna always waits till the fighting's over and _then_ twists her ankle and needs you to carry her to sickbay? Why else would she keep jumping off cliffs right before teleport?"). Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

But Ray Bradbury named the main character of one book after a brand of writing paper without even realizing where he'd read the name.

Jacqui asked: <Anyone got it to hand - the only bits I can remember are the 'chariots of fire' (hence the film), the bows of gold and 'I will not cease from mental fight until I have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land' - any connection with the London?> I've always got Blake to hand, Jacqui (only the book, alas): In every cry of every Man, In every Infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. (from the poem called 'London') Now I wonder if it would be possible to disregard some 50 years of difference in age, and write a story of an encounter between W.Blake and Byron as some kind of R.Blake and Avon avatars?

Do you think Our Heroes could qualify for a job there?> Well, there's that curious gliding way Avon moves whenever he has to run in skin-tight leather ... and Jacqui: <Why do the females so often wear 'silly shoes' - for traipsing around on planets?> It is a well-known historical fact that fashion and common sense have rarely had much if anything to do with each other ... and the shoes are a necessary part of the 1970s-retro styles sweeping the Federation at this point in time. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
