Geoff sent this to me a while back, and it kicked off a whole Carl Sagan mania in the ancestral domains here, one of the products of which was the title of today's episode.

Oo look, here's more!

- Count Dolby von Luckner

I wandered around APE for a few hours last Saturday. The Count and I were thinking about getting a booth there, but this plan fell through.

However, attending APE as a civilian is still a recommended activity. I was able to meet Kate Beaton (and pick up some copies of her book) as well as Dylan Meconis. A bit of history was discussed, mostly in the form of Henry the Second's son Geoffrey. Although, I must confess, this was a Geoffrey I didn't know anything about.

Also, while waiting in Kate Beaton's line, I was standing next to Tasha Harris of Double Fine. (She also has a game related to her comic.) We mostly talked about her comic and how Brutal Legend is awesome.

Basically, everyone I met at APE was super cool in addition to being extra nice. So, it was a good time.

I have just been made aware of The 5 Pimpingest Historical Figures on cracked.com.

And by "made aware," I mean I was laughing so hard that I wasn't breathing and tears were running down my face. Your mileage may vary.
