Popeye was partially funded by a spinach company, amongst others. I highly doubt that it was really a reference to marijuana given that.

Yah but even so Eragon's probably a druggie. Maybe he'll die because he has so few brain cells already and the marijuana will kill the rest off.

There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

If you watch the original Popeye's you'll find it's very racist. He says a lot of bad things about black people. Some of it's pretty bad.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

I didn't know Hera had those...

Hey do you think she'd be interested in the site? I mean Bartimaeus isn't nessicarily her thing, but at least she'd read my Night book review.

She hasn't even read the books, there's no point in her joing to respond once a review. Besides, you can show it to her and talk to her in person.

It's 1920. Tintin was racist.

I know that. It's just interesting to watch how society's views change.

I wonder what people would have thought of you Arti in 1920? Probably would have shipped you off to the Asylum.

1920? The Dada years? I think not.

With the flappers coming soon? Yeah right. Women were going "nuts" enough as it was. They wouldn't notice me... Except for maybe the lipstick.

Well, Picasso would still be alive. You can be a masterpiece of Mordenist art. Minus the clothing, of course.
