Kenji Wrote:This Monday, Bluesman Mike sent "GATEWAYS" to me, and I just got it now.(Thanks a lot, Bluesman Mike)
This time, it's hardcover! Wow! This is so cool! Now I'm still reading The HAUNTED AIR, so I must speed up the pace of reading the book. I heard everybody say "GATEWAY is best". But FPW's books are all best. Is that right, Mike?
Well anyway, I can't wait for GATEWAYS. I feel like a Gateway is open and awaiting for me.
Kenji Wrote:I just noticed one thing while I'm reading Gateways. At 102 pages, I read this line.
This isn't a Robin Cook novel. This is real life.
When I'm reading this line, I was in train. I struggled to stop the laugh.
I guessed Paul dislike Robin Cook. Cause is as a doctor? Or as a writer? Or shouldn't I mention it...?
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:I think maybe Paul was just having a little fun.
Kenji Wrote:Yeah, that's true. It's fun.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Another thing, Kenji--=never= surpress a laugh. The latest research shows surpressed laughs back up in your hippocampus and make your head explode! :eek:
Keith the Elder Wrote:This is true. In the original "Scanners" they told the guy in scanner demo scene to think if something funny (they exposed him to 100 hours of the "i love lucy" show interspersed with random episodes of "The Honeymooners" prior to his scene). but to hold back (or suppress, in the venacular of the movie industry) his laugh. The results were dramatic. If you've ever seen this in slo-mo with an Infrared filter, the departure of the, for the sake of argument, the energy burst believed to be the soul is absolutely breathtaking!I could suppress a laugh while watching 100 hours of I Love Lucy ..... easily.
Aside from the Russian guy dying from rabies in 1906, this is the only other actual recorded death on film. The unwitting participant was paid scale as an extra for his work on "Scanners" which worked out to be $23.98 before taxes.
