I was gifted with the Herve This book. It is one of the worst books, self indulgent, poorly researched, and full of hooey. Surely the French are smarter than to revere this buffoon.

The Star Wars action figure link was too funny. Especially the Leia/Christian Bale action figure. The next time I’m at a mega-mart toy section I’m so going to check out the latest Star Wars action figures.

Re the shaved bumblebee, I don’t know why, but it always disturbs me when I see cartoons or caricatures of insects that have only 4 limbs.
