@Frank, Thanks! Oh, and Nogg has saucer eyes previously, the two i found were here and here. And Tarzan, I know that it was partially the time period (although there were exceptions), but I still find that angle of it dulls an otherwise lovely read. It almost feels like the formula for all that is compelling-yet-not-terribly-interesting about hollywood, and perhaps it is. :)

Or is this one of those silly rules the GOB has against sentient species eating each other? (Or sapient… whatever…) It’s silly rules like that that keep beings from watching legislative proceedings on GOB-SPAN.

FWIW, if you go take the tour of the State Capitol building in Topeka, Kansas, the guides will point out the bullet holes still in the walls of the legislative chambers, where State Representatives had measured debates over legislation. (Measured in the number of bullets used, that is.)

As for Tarzan, it was written in 1914. Going too far into stereotypes was not only expected, it was funny. Luckily, we’ve come a long way since then, and now find it offensive.
