Re: VMs: Re: My prediction for 2004 :-)

Hi everyone,

Isn't that completely typical? Almost immediately we linked Beagle 2 with 
the VMs, it disappeared into an unreachable state where you can't tell 
whether it's dead or alive. :-o

We may need to apologise to Colin Pillinger for such wanton conceptual 
carelessness. :-/

All the same, several people have already (loosely) connected the VMs with 
Mars:-

For all you comic collectors out there, there's some Martian text in Alan 
Moore's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" v2 #1 page 3 panel 7 (it says 
here) which supposedly looks like Voynichese (though I haven't seen it 
myself):-

Moving from fiction to, umm, faction (or do I mean delusion?), let's not 
forget Helene Smith's (Catherine Elise Muller's) "Martian" (as flagged by 
Dennis):-

...which connects onwards with the excellent FT article on James Hampton (a 
nice read for Christmas Day if you haven't already seen it):-

A Merry Martian Christmas to you all!, .....Nick Pelling.....
