Can sure ruin the moon though.<BR/><BR/>Well, I have a great expert easily accessible if I ever need "zoo type" information on reptiles and birds and such. Thank GOD!! Reasearch IS a major drag but necessary. I'm with you, Cindy. If something is meant to be historically accurate the details are important. If it's pure fantasy, I can pretty much blow it off and sit back and enjoy.Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-16802897349162620202008-07-03T11:04:00.000-04:002008-07-03T11:04:00.000-04:00Hey, Cindy--If your 300-year-old Irish sorcerer ha...Hey, Cindy--If your 300-year-old Irish sorcerer had Christian parents, he may well have been circumcised.<BR/><BR/>And I totally agree with you on the differences between movies meant to be "real" and those meant to be pure fun. The whole point of A Knight's Tale was to put modern stuff into a medieval environment. Ditto Bond flicks.<BR/><BR/>I'm "reading" (listening to, actually) a book right now where a character was described as darning an apron. Now, I don't know how to darn, but I do know that it's a way to fix knitted things. Who ever knitted an apron? Threw me right out of the book. I'm sure the author was using the word "darn" to mean "mend." But someone should have caught that--an editor or copyeditor, at least. That's part of their job! <BR/><BR/>Grumble, grumble [wanders off muttering about what the publishing industry is coming to]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
