I belive you're all aware of Russ Madden's review of Crisscross. Here's another:

I'd think twice before modeling myself after the notorious Ken V. Big Grin

Yeah, its like being inFAMOUS! Wink

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Shipmate, there's notoriety and then there's notoriety. If I were you, I'd explain to Interpol--again--how the whole plutonium-smuggling thing was just a big misunderstanding. Big Grin

That was settled long ago. The last problem I had was with England's version of F.A.T.A.S.S.. (Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service.) I was trying to board a plane at Heathrow, and they had a big problem with some tea I was bringing along with me. It was regular Chinese Black Tea, but was of a special cut called "Gunpowder." Eventually, they let me on with the tea -- in a plastic bag -- but they just HAD to confiscate the cardboard package, I mean after all, It said gunpowder on the label, can't let anybody board a plane with anything that says "gun powder" on it, can they?

(This actually did happen last year, exactly as I stated -- just not to me.)

I'm curious, Ken--do you have a solid reference for the infamous Gunpowder Tea Incident? Somehow, it has the ring of foaflore. But I'm glad the plutonium misunderstanding turned out OK. I told a couple of very serious Feds all I knew about it--you needed the heavy metal as ballast for your yacht, that's all. Wink

For the gunpowder tea incident see:

http://www.jamesphogan.com/bb/bb.shtml#042003-1

Read the short article, then click on "Full List" for a detailed account. You might also want to verify the existence of gunpowder tea. Google gunpowder+tea or click on that item in the article.

The keel on my boat weighs three tons, and it's lead with 6% Antimony. If I wanted to make it heavier, I'd use tungsten -- twice the weight of lead and a lot cheaper than Plutonium. The Plutonium is for my time machine.

I read about the Gunpowder Tea Massacre incident on the site you mentioned. Good info, thanks.

I'd love to see the specs of your time machine. Plutonium? My temporal-mech claims that's risky. (I don't know, I leave that kind of thing to the experts.) I'm still using good old thorium, but would like a high-powered upgrade--my txy generator =will not= get me into the Garden of Eden, and my PEOPLE magazine deadline is getting damn close--the one for an exclusive inteview with Adam and Eve. When I get my money back from the Infernal Revenue Service, I'll be shopping around.
