I've long had this vague idea for a story that would combine various flood myths from around the world. Like Noah and Deucalion would meet and stuff.

Battle of the boats!

I took my boat for a car
I took that car for a ride
I was trying to get somewhere
But now I'm following the traces of your fingernails
That run along the windshield on the boat of car

There's something solid forming in the air
And the wall of death is lowered in Times Square
No one seems to care
They carry on as if nothing was there
The wind is blowing harder now
Blowing dust into my eyes
The dust settles on my skin
Making a crust I cannot move in
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway

Lambs probably wish they had longer tails so they could swat flies away like cows and horses do.

Poor little lamb chops.

Lamb Chops was Sherri Lewis’ main puppet.

British songbird Sandie Shaw hated one of her biggest hit songs: "Puppet On a String."

I was happy when I heard that Songbird had finally, officially joined the Avengers in the modern day comics canon.

I don’t think that there is any Marvel hero who hasn’t been an Avenger

Uh,,,

You mean besides many of the X-Men?

There was/is an Uncanny Avengers title where at least some of the X-Men became Avengers.

Unfortunately, that Uncanny Avengers title was underwhelmingly written by the undertalented Rick Remender.

I can't remember why, but that's a name I normally avoid. I'll not have read his Marvel work, so I may be being harsh there. I was underwhelmed by what I read of Black Science and a peek at something else. I did buy a couple of issues of End League though.

I'm lazy to try new comic books. It seems like such a time investment. But that's just me, and I'm aware I may be missing some great works.

Nothing new under the sun, my friend.

At least that's my opinion of the current state of comic books.

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho it's hot, the sun is not a place where we could live
But here on earth there'd be no life without the light it gives
We need its light, we need its heat, we need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas
Iron, copper, aluminum and many others
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside
And yet the sun is still only a middle-sized star
The sun is far away
About 93, 000, 000 miles away, and that's why it looks so small
And even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night and day
The sun gives heat, the sun gives light, the sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine
The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions
Of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees

I thought this was the Big Bang Theory opening/intro at first.

The Doctor: We need to use our intelligence.

Leela: Do you think that’s a good idea?

I know a few people who won't watch Doctor Who, with a woman as the Doctor. Generally, because they see it as pandering to be seen as super right on when it comes to equality. None of them would have minded another time lord, say Romana, getting her own show and running with that on its own merits.

I described Grant Morrison & Mark Waid's late-1990s concept of Hypertime to a friend.

He said, "They stole that from Doctor Who."

Back in the Tom Baker days, the writers had great fun mining classic sci-fi/horror films. The Brain of Morbius and that one with The Crawling Hand.

A Morbius strip.

Morbius strip joint.
