Alan, after I saw your 1...You bet, Startheory. Pi!<br /><br />Alan, after I saw your 111 mention, I was literally flooded with 111 synchs - the power of suggestion cannot be underestimated. I think that claymation scene was based off of the earlier version of The Mysterious Stranger that was based off of Twain's first manuscript and then heavily abridged and embroidered (much like the bible). The one I read was based off his third manuscript and according to the forward, not heavily edited, sort of like the dead sea scrolls... ;-)<br /><br />There is one chapter when 44 makes the sun reverse direction and time go backwards (a biblical prophecy, I believe) and he makes a character say the previous paragraph completely backwards to illustrate the effect, and darn if I didn't flash on the Beatles and Helter Skelter. I'll bet that paragraph would yield some amazing sh*t if examined forensically.<br /><br />I've not yet read the King Arthur story, but since Eleleth is deep into the Grail Legend at the moment, I figure I'll read it next. Mr. Twain (which means twin) might have some good ol' Yankee ingenuity stored up in there.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531037998720855468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-47419694613446160042010-11-04T12:40:08.571-07:002010-11-04T12:40:08.571-07:00Great post!
