Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic.



So often I see the same topics covered in our game crop up on the TV show.

I just watched the latest episode from the "H" series "Hodge Podge" and it featured a brief diversion on the topic of the 1920's monkey gland surgery fad.

Now I know I've no exclusive right to history and it's probably nothing, and the researchers and me probably just read the same books.

Still it is spooky strange and it's not the first time either.....

Lanzababy - Guide Editor

I think so too, although it may be a general h2g2 thing, there was a question about the big-eyed no eyed spider, that seemed to be more recent than our Guide Entry on this creature.

*sneaks back out of this forum before anyone notices me.
