If I had an Otherland network account

I have discovered an amazing series of books called "Otherland," In which a group of people from around the world join together into a virtual reality network run by the most important people in the world (who call themselves the Grail Brotherhood) to save the children who have gone into comas because of it.
The leader of the Grail Brotherhood is a 150 year old French guy with a thing for Ancient Egypt. Even if he is the villain in this, I like him because he is at his core, a geek. Because only a geek would recreate H.G Wells War of The Worlds. This is a list of the worlds I would create if I hade this guys resources and access the Otherland network, and it didn’t screw up kids.
  • Mythania: If I could only create one virtual world. Mythania would be it. It is a world of my own creation, inhabited by beings of my own creation. It is basically a fantasy universe, like Tolkein’s Middle-Earth, but I like making it large. The smallest continent will be the size of Asia, the largest the size of five Asias. Most of the ideas I will have will also be in smaller programs.
  • Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy Universe: Most of the ideas for virtual worlds are inspired by the books I read. I would love to spend some time in Douglas Adams’ world. My sim (virtual body) in this world would of course be Ford Prefect.
  • Frank Herbert's Dune The Dune series is one of my favorite sci-fi series. I would have the Dune universe built so that I could go to any point in the history, between the Butlerian Jihad and the Scattering. My sims in this world would vary, because I would have different sims depending on environments, on Dune itself I will be a Fremen, on Tlelax I would be a Tlelaxu master. However I would have three main sims for the Frank Herbert novels, Paul Muad’dib, Leto II and Duncan Idaho.
  • Faerie: Some of my mid-school classmates would probably call me gay, but I love the concept of faerie. I won’t model it on the stuff you see in commercials for toys for little girls. My Faerie will be a wild untamed place.
  • Larry Niven’s Ringworld: Ringworld is a science-fiction novel about four explorers, Louis Wu, a 200 year old human explorer, Nessus, a two-headed, three legged alien who is in charge of the expedition, but is insane, Teela Brown, a nice girl who Louis met at a party who has no experience, but all the luck in the world, and Speaker-To-Animals, a kzinti diplomat who would kill the lot of them to bring himself honour. So they all go to this Ringworld place and check it out and there are all these crazy theories. I put Ringworld on the list because it’s a ridiculous idea and deserves to be put on. I don’t know if I should add the rest of Larry Niven’s world in this or just add one with Kzinti.
  • Spider Robinson’s Callahan’s Place: My smallest simulation universe, Callahan’s Place would be nothing more then a small lot in the hub of my personal network. It would however be one of my personal places to go. The atmosphere would be that of a rather humble bar in New York, but the regulars will include aliens, talking dogs, mythical creatures and various simulated life-forms from my other simulations dropping in and out. There would be other human regulars, but they would just act normal. I would probably drop in everyone in awhile.
  • John Mandeville’s Orient: John Mandeville was this British Guy who wrote a bunch of stories about his travels to Asia. They were of course completely untrue, what with the stories of men with their faces on their torsos and dog headed people. Medieval Europe’s views on Europe are of great interest to me and I would love to create a world like that.
  • L. Frank Baum’s Wonderful Land of Oz: In Elementary school, I loved the Oz series, so in a nostalgia trip I will put this on my list. I would also put the other lands that were told about in the series such as the land of the Nomes, Ix and Kansas. The Land of Oz was created in the Otherland series, but it was screwed up somehow.
  • Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain: One of my favourite series in Elementary school. Prydain is a land based on Celtic mythology. The series revolves around the adventures of Taran, an assistant pig-keeper who ends up saving Prydain from the forces of darkness every once in awhile. Like Oz, this is going to go on my list because of nostalgia.
  • Brian Jacques’ Redwall: Yet another nostalgia trip. Redwall is one of my first reads into Fantasy. The basic idea is that you got all these good animals (mice, squirrels, hedgehogs, otters, hares and badgers) living in a monastery called Redwall and surrounding areas. Every once in awhile, some hoard of the bad animals (weasels, ferrets, stoats, rats, foxes and wildcats) and screw things up. It was a great series and I really believe that it deserves to be put on my list.
  • My Hometown: I don’t know why I choose to put my hometown on my list, but I am. I’m not going to change it or anything. I’m just going to make a replica of my hometown. I think it would just be funny to have something as domestic as this after being fried by Vogons and chased by Leprechauns it would be funny to be in a normal place like my hometown.
  • Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book: Another nostalgia trip, mostly because of the Disney movie, but I would base it on the books because I’m a purist for such things. I’m still ticked off because they put robots on Earth in I, Robot.
  • Revised Faery Tale World: You got it. NOSTALGIA TRIP. I loved this series of books about revised faerie tales, so in this world, Goldilocks is sued for breaking an entry, Knights have to deal with protestors and Rumpelstiltskin is a hippie (that one is all me).

This is my all I have for now. I'll come up with more ,don't worry. In fact, you can send the world's you would like to make if you had an Otherland Account to me at naousshiva@gmail.com.

Naous, a breif bio

Names: Naous, Naous Shiva, Naous God-seeker, Gypsy Harrison, The N’yad, Br’e’mud the Younger, He-Who-Seeks-The-Oneness, Wormhole Prince, etc
Species: Alavallan
Age: 897 earth years
Occupation: Freelance musician, Die-hard hippie, Controversial Scientist, Pilot, Avatar of Shiva
Naous was born the moment I first saw K-PAX. He was originally a make-believe version of me as an alien. I eventually wrote my first story with Naous, then called Neo when I was in Mid-school. I eventually made the first one were he was an Alavallan in Grade 9, originally called "The Crash". He has evolved into one of my favourite characters.
His personality is that of an eccentric Renaissance Man. His parents were caught in the Nexx massacres when he was a child. He barely made it out with his life, but lost both his parents escaping. He landed on a planet nearly destroyed by a nuclear war. The inhabitants were what was left of the sentients species living in monasteries. Naous developed the most with the aliens called the Ktoch. He became trained in their telepathic abilities and hade the one most changing experiences of his life. During meditation, Naous caught a brief glimpse of something he could only describe as "God,". He was unable to hold this connection for long and was soon back in his own plain of existence. He devoted most of his life studying God and trying to make his way back to It.
When he got back to the Alavallan. He was dismissed as a lunatic, but his talents as a pilot where unbelievable. Naous started his journey across space.
Naous rediscovered Earth shortly after humanity finished World War II. For some reason his ship was drawn to Earth in an absolute tractor beam. His mate, Eisis was killed in the crash, but Naous was able to wrestle the ship out of range of the tractor being, landing on the other side of the planet near Roswell, New Mexico. The locals didn’t take kindly to him, so he left after picking up any information that he could use. He was accompanied by Richard Anderson, a military drop-out. He spent the 50's running across Earth, dodging American, Soviet and British agents, saving people and bending the nations of Earth to his will. His adventures with his original company ended on a Japanese trade ship in the Pacific, when he found himself on the same ship with a major British Agent, the leaders of the Soviet project and the son of the man in charge of the American project. Naous and one of the Soviet leaders were the only survivors.
Naous and the Soviet leader, a four-thousand year old Greek oracle, washed up on the shore of California. The two ran into an immigrant family from France, who Naous believed would give them shelter because they were Rom (gypsies), would give them shelter because of an ancient pact that apparently nobody on Earth besides Naous remembers. They gave him shelter for a few years, and Naous got off with there daughter, Djidjo.
Naous, Djidjo and the oracle joined a hippie commune in 1965. During this time Naous began an experimental music style combining Jazz, Psychedelic Rock, Ktoch chanting, Folk and Alavallan traditional (rap was later added) and was identified by a Hindu mystic as Shiva and Djidjo as Parvati. Naous was surprised by the comment and found himself unintentionally taking up Hinduism. He moved to India in 1970, with Djidjo, who had a run in with a medical station and got herself hybridized with the DNA of several other species including Alavallan, Aesir and Mulara.
Since then Naous has travelled the world with little incident.

Ralph, a breif bio

Name: Ralph Wyksyn Chorion
Species: tawazee
Age: 71
Occupation: Rouge, Scoundrel, Legendary Hero

Ralph Wyksyn Chorion is my closet imaginary friend. He originated as a fictional character of the same name in a series of children’s books. Then as I created Mythania and Ralph morphed into a breed of giant mice reminiscent of the ones in C.S. Lewis’ Narnia. Ralph took second place to the Dylisanite once I came up with them, but I made him a major player in Mythania. The only reason I created the tawazee was because I felt that I was ripping C.S Lewis off so I changed all the names of the various Mythanian Mice, Mythanian Foxes and Mythanian Hedgehogs to various other names I forgot. I all got ride of the Mythanian critters except the Tawazee because Ralph is a tawazee and I’d half to get rid of Ralph.
Ralph is a mutant tawazee. In a fluke of genetics Ralph got an overly quick ability to heal. The Chorion family has been known to heal fast, but Ralph can heal really fast. This wasn’t detected until he was 170, when he is suppose to start greying (the average Chorion Tawazee lifespan is 300 years), but he just kept looking like a strong Tawazee male in his 20's. He was asked to spend some time in a Commonwealth medical facility for research. This was followed by Ralph making a run for the Commonwealth boarder, three counts of vehicle theft and illegal entry into Tarker Korling controlled territory. Ralph was considered one of the founding fathers of the Commonwealth and his actions caused a great stir in Commonwealth politics. The Amoran Empire, who had a criminal record on Ralph just said "We told you so,". (in my friend’s defence, In the Amoran Empire, being a Tawazee is looked down upon, being a Tawazee with a real problem with almost everything your civilization is about and the audacity to point it out to the Cronullaban puts you up against a guy three times your height and a name like "Demon out of Hell," or something)
Ralph had since been in and out of Commonwealth politics. He gave himself for a few years of medical research after the Preacher Empire joined the Commonwealth in 893 CSY, saying he couldn’t stand "those annoying Perxesian missionaries and their Goddess-damned flyers,". However, the Dvekti-Commonwealth war broke out and Ralph put out his services. He was a witness at Former Capitol, when Daina and Kaylynn became the first of the Dvekti Goddess Queens, setting off a golden age for the Dvekti and the religious debate "Just what does a lesbian mother goddess represent?"
I use Ralph as a second opinion and sometimes as a back-up Educational Assistant. He tends to disagree with me on some parts, like my choice in music for my radio. I think Ralph is a part of my subconscious that morphed into Ralph over time.

A Little Premature

I have been thinking, and I believe that saying I was a Hindu was a little premature at this point in time. I talked with some family members and they helped me realize some things. I have also been doing some soul searching and I don’t think that I’m going to join a religion just yet. I don’t think I’m ready.

Conversations with Steph

These are some comments from my other blog, Journals of A Lost Human, which I don't do anymore because it stopped being fun. They are between me and one of my readers, named Steph. Here they are.
February 8

Steph said...
Hello... I'm not exactly sure how I go onto your blog, but it's interesting. I like it so far. :)
1:36 PM
Writer said...
Thank you
4:59 AM
Writer said...
I have another blog at worldhead.blogspot.com if you would like to check it out. I really only use it as a notebook and way to express my opinions.

Steph said...
Mind if I ask how old you are?
1:20 PM
Writer said...
Yes. Why do you ask?
4:40 PM
Steph said...
Simple curiosity. Your profile says you're a teenager, so I suppose that's good enough... You write well, so I was interested in a more specific answer than that, but I can understand if you don't want to tell me.
5:37 PM
February 14
Steph said...
Sorry I haven't replied in awhile, been rather preoccupied...Anyways, I love the literary allusions in this: Babel fish and Romulans. :D
3:46 PM
Writer said...
I don't know what allusions mean. I just used a few pop culture refrences.I also don't know what :D means.
11:23 AM
Steph said...
oh... well, allusions is like when you talk about another book/movie/song or whatever in your writing.and :D is like a smiley face, if you tilt your head to the left and look at it
5:36 PM
Writer said...
oh
February 16

Steph said...
Your conversations are written like plays rather than novels. I think that's interesting in its own way, but because of that your characters lack personality as they speak. (Since in plays, it's left up to the actor to determine the speaking inflections and such). Don't get me wrong though, I still like it. :)
4:22 PM
Steph said...
In thinking about it further, now that I remembered that it's "JOURNALS of a Lost Human" I suppose that makes more sense to write the convos like that... :P
4:30 PM

Steph said...
"...they killed something that looked like an elephant. (It did not taste like chicken)."I'm still laughing about that...

Steph said...
Hmm... just an observation, you talk about Asperger's syndrome a lot. From your profile and stuff, I know you have it, and I know basically what it is, but I don't know much more about it. Care to educate me?
6:47 PM
Writer said...
Sure. Asperger's Syndrome is a mild form of Auitsim that effects social development. I have difficulty fitting in with people because I don't understand social norms. Most Aspie's have a special intrest like Math, RPG's, computer design, cows, thouse radar things that can tell you how fast a car is going. Mine's Science Fiction. I plan on making somemore posts on Asperger's Syndrome on "The Aspie Diaries,".
5:06 AM
Steph said...
What do you mean by "social norms"? Could you be more specific?
1:57 PM
Steph said...
...wondering why my post that is clearly there (and has been since yesterday) does not show up on the main page...
11:52 AM
Writer said...
Sorry. I mean stuff like conversations. At an Aspie Group I went to we learned how to start a conversation. Stuff that you would probubly take for granted.
12:40 PM
Steph said...
Then what's the difference between having Asperger's syndrome and just lacking social skills? (Sorry, I'm not trying to be probing or anything, just curious).
5:33 PM
Writer said...
I'm not very good at explaining it. I recommend you just type it into a search engine or something.
9:03 AM
Writer said...
Don't worry. I'm not offended. I'm not very good at explaining it. I'd look it up on a search engine or look on the Aspie Diaries during January 2005, I have something on that. I'm just going to say that it is NOT a disease. There are people out there who think that it is, but Asperger's Syndrome isn't. I'd look on a search engine.
11:52 AM
That's it.

Easter Sunday, Day of the Resurrection

in 788 AUC Yeshua, leader of a small religious group is released by the Roman Emperor. Yeshua was the founder of a small sect which became called Christianity in the west. The religion was able to gather a few followers, but it fell apart eventually by the end of the millennium.
in 35 Jesus, Son of God, is resurrected on this day. He taught the true way and path to God, his father. His word spread across the world united under Christendom.
in 35 Jesus, founder of Christianity is reputed to have been resurrected. However, like many things about Jesus it is still open to debate, but still doesn’t come close to the debate as to if he is human, hyoka, threzyran or aleyana.
on Sha’ban 29, -605 The Prophet Jesus is believed to have been resurrected by the Christian religion. The Christianity was once the dominant religion in the Roman Empire, but Rome was soon taken by the followers of Muhammad. These days, Christians are more commonly known as terrorist fanatics in the middle east. Chrisitianity in reality is a very beautiful religion.

The Soundtrack of My Life So Far

I heard somewhere that most teenagers look at their lives as a soundtrack or think that their life should have a soundtrack or something like that. I don’t know if this is true, but I am going to write down what I would put on the Soundtrack of My Life.
  • Imagine, by John Lennon This song is my theme song. All I really want is for people to stop being stupid so we can all join together in the pursuit of knowledge and truth. The only part I don’t agree with is the bit where John Lennon says we shouldn’t have religion. While I do acknowledge that religion is one of the great causes of human suffering, we would probably make things worse if we didn’t have it and it is really more of an excuse to draw away from the real issue (e.g., The Muslims are all heathens and they got Jerusalem, which is our holy city, let’s go take it back, real reason: The Muslims are damn rich, let’s go loot and pillage their land which Jerusalem is conveniently placed in)
  • Somebody to Love, by Queen What can I say? I get lonely. Can anybody find me somebody to love? I would greatly appreciate it.
  • Smells like Teen Spirit, by Nirvana I’m a teenager. I’m not so sure I feel teen angst, because I am an Aspie and emotions are not my strong suit. But sometimes I get really frustrated and that I believe is what this song is all about (The subject of Smells Like Teen Spirit was the theme for a parody Weird Al Yankovic did of Smells Like Teen Spirit. The video was hilarious). Plus, this is a good song and I feel is more authentic and less whiny then "Welcome to my Life," by Simple Plan.
  • I Want To Break Free, by Queen Mainly because I want to break free. Life is very frustrating for me and I would like to live in a cabin in the mountains where I can concentrate on writing. A good substitute would be So-Called Chaos, by Alanis Morissette (which come to think about it is more appropriate)
  • American Pie, by Don McLean This is just a good song.
  • Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin Same as the reason that American Pie is on. I guess they can work it in subtlety or something. I understand that Led Zeppelin isn’t to keen on putting there music onto soundtracks and whatnot, but this is just me fantasizing.
  • Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen Okay, I’ll admit it. I like Queen and I play air guitar. That and this is just a good song. Which is the only reason most of the songs on my personal soundtrack are on here.
  • Learn to Be Still, by The Eagles My religious search is an important part of my life. This is a good song to illustrate that.

Well, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. All songs will be played by my imaginary friend, Naous the Roswell Alien and avatar of Shiva. This is my imaginary soundtrack, so I can choose who gets to play the music.

I am a Hindu (unofficially, but still...)

Well, I have unofficially converted to Hinduism. I have been searching for a religion that I like for some time and Hinduism seems to be the one.

I have hade problems with my parent’s religion (Christianity) for a long time. The first time was probably when one of the people at our church brought all the kids up to the front of the church one day and told us that we were all supposed to be disciples of Jesus. I happened to be a cat at the time and replied "I’m not a disciple. I’m a cat." This is one of my great religious lines. After this I tried to be a good Christian, but it just didn’t work out. Eventually I decided to just stopped being Christian and studied other religions. I considered joining all sorts of religions, but Islam seemed to orthodox and Buddhism didn’t appeal to me at all. One day I got a book on Hinduism because the Hindu Gods interested me and I wanted to read more about them. I started learning more about Hinduism and I found it appealed to my own beliefs. Today at supper I decided that I will start practising Hinduism.

We were having steak. Yet another bit of evidence to show God has a sense of humour.

I like the Hindu concept of God, which is more liberal then the Judeo-Christian-Islamic one. This is my largest reason in converting. I have yet to attend a Hindu worship service.

Another Random Thought (on Paris Hilton)

I have come to the conclusion that Paris Hilton serves no real purpose. Since most of the people who read this know that I am a teenage male, you are probubly wondering wy I'm saying this. Well, from what I understand all Paris Hilton does is go to parties and have intercourse. Since I see nothing Paris Hilton has that could be of any possible use to the human race that can be passed on genetically, I see no use for Paris Hilton.

I Need A New Computer Game

I am slowly running out of home computer games to entertain me. The only things that intrest me are Age of Empires II and Civilization II. I would like a few new games. What would like to play are the Sims 2, Galactic Civilizations and the Matrix Online.
This has been a random thought.

Ford Prefect

Today in civics class, one of my classmates says that my nickname in the yearbook should be Ford Prefect. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Ford Prefect, he is an alien native to a planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse who was stranded on Earth for fifteen years and only managed to escape after it was blown up by the Vogons to make a hyperspace bypass (He’s a fictional character from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, don’t panic). I do not consider myself similar to Ford Prefect. I will now make a list of similarities and differences I have to Ford Prefect.

Similarities:
  • Appearance: Douglas Adams described Ford Prefect as a strange looking being. For instance he described Ford Prefect’s appearance when smiling as "giving the impression of going for the neck,". Were I do not believe that I give people that impression of going for the neck, I believe the fact I prefer a hair style that involves scissors being a good few metres away from my head might strike people as odd.(Appearance does not include the upcoming Hitchhiker movie, being the actor who plays Ford is black, and I am white)
  • We are both Aliens: Well, he’s alien in the sense that he is actually from another planet. Were as I am an Aspie, so I am merely an alien trapped in the body of a human. I believe I give some people the feeling that I am from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.
  • We both would like to leave Earth: Ford Prefect was known by his human friends to stare of into space for no apparent reason. His friends would ask him what he was doing and he would reply "Looking for flying saucers," and the unknowing humans would reply "What kind of flying saucers?" to which Ford would reply "Green ones," and everyone would laugh and Ford would take them all to get drunk in the local pub. This would be followed by Ford trying to explain to a girl in slurred phrases that it didn’t really matter what colour the flying saucer was, gatecrashing university parties to make fun of any scientists he could fine and asking a police officer if he could direct him to Betelgeuse. This can all be attributed to the fact that Ford wanted despratly to get of Earth. I would like to leave Earth and start a life on another planet for the same reason Ford wants to, humans are insane.
  • We are both Writers: Ford Prefect works as a travelling researcher to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He is responsible for the rewriting of Earth entry (changing Harmless to Mostly Harmless). While my chosen medium is fiction, I am a writer like Ford Prefect.

Differences

  • Lifestyle: Douglas Adams once described Ford Prefect as a parody of Doctor Who. Doctor Who flies around the space/time continuum in his police booth saving people, while Ford Prefect runs around the space/time continuum freeloading on other starships going to parties. While I enjoy a good party I do not enjoy it as much as Ford Prefect. Also, Ford Prefect enjoys drinking alcohol, were as I have decided that I will not drink alcohol.

That is all I can think of.

Okay, that's it.

Update on Fair Trade Choclate

I talked to my freind and it's okay to eat Hersey's. Nestle is the big one on cheating people in Central America. So if you want to help on this whole Fair Trade thing, don't eat Nestle.

Yesterday: Medival Times and Ikea

Yesterday I went to Toronto to go to Medieval Times dinner and tournament. I liked the Medieval Times dinner and tournament thing, but I found some of it needlessly barbaric. I did like the food. The food was great. They gave me half a chicken as the main course. I also liked the bit with the Falcon.
After that my family and me went to Ikea. I got a new desk and I saw a chair I liked for the family room. We didn’t get the chair although.
This is what I did yesterday in Toronto.

On The Way Home From School Today

Today, while going home from school. I saw a bunch of people in a group. One was in front of another kid, pushing him and saying things that swore. Being the Gandhi wanna-be I am. I tried to reason with them, it didn’t work so the guy I was trying to help walked away. The boy who was trying to fight him went after him, so I held him back for as long as I could, but he got thru. Then we al started running, but I was wearing my Blundstone boots (which I got from regular reader of my blog, Uncle T. I still like them Uncle T) so I lost them. I was very worried, but I got a look at them later and they stopped, so I ran to see what happened and it looked like the guy I was trying to help wasn’t there. I heard a girl there say that he kept running, so he’s safe.

I have a radio station

I was on my yahoo acount and I discovered I can create a personalized radio station. I like it, but some of the artists that they gave me originally are ones I don't like and are modern. Were's Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Queen, The Beatles. I didn't see the Beatles, what kind of idiots don't give the beatles as a choice.
Well, they I put it on as a suggestion. The only problem is I forgot to put Weird Al on. I'll see if I can put it on later. Anyway, so far I have no complaints about it.
Update: Good news, I found out how you get them. Anyway, for thouse of you with a yahoo account I recomend you try this. It's great. For thouse of you who don't have a yahoo account. Get one!

Fair Trade Choclate

A while ago a freind told me about "Fair Trade," Choclate. Apparently most choclate companies us poor South American people to gather the choclate seeds for very low wages. However there is a thing called Fair Trade Choclate that makes choclate and gives more money to South American workers. Go to www.dubble.co.uk to learn more.

Back Opintment and some Alternate Events

Yesterday I went to London, Ontario. It was a medical thing because I had to get my back checked out. A few years ago I had got an iron rode in my back because my spine wasn’t straight enough. Since then I’ve been wearing a brace to help my body adjust. My parents hope that I can get the brace of soon.
It was relatively okay. I had to wait a lot but it finally paid of and I went to chapters. I got the Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Time Enough For Love by Robert A. Heinlein.
Now here is some Alternate Events for Today’s History:

in 1969 The Soviet Union and People’s Republic of China form an alliance. Fearing that the two communist powers will destroy there way of life, The United States of America, The British Empire and Several European countries start fighting. This would escalate into World War III.
in 1807 The United States Congress abolishes the European Slave Trade. Hundreds of freed Europeans rejoice, however the southern state's economy was based on slaves starting the American civil war. European-Americans have gained rights as equal citizens in America, but they are still struggling against the right wing philosophy of the United States Government.
in 1972 Pioneer 10 is launched from Cape Canavrel, Florida. The satellite was entended to reach the star of Ross 246 in the year 34'600 AD. However, when a Romany Star Caravan decided to see if it was on course in 2363, they couldn't find any sign of it.
in 1904 Theodor Seuss Geisel, Grandmaster of Humorous Science Fiction is born. In his time Theodor wrote parodies of Science Fiction classics including 101 Ways to Save Human Civilization (A parody of Foundation), Oh, the places you’ll go (A parody of Arthur C. Clarke’s work) and The Misadventures of the Arcamedes Armstrong Amadeus, in which he makes a collective parody of Star Trek, Dr. Who and the works of Larry Niven. In it, the hero runs across the universe in a very badly built ship saving people and fighting of warrior cats in ridiculous headgear.
