I almost keeled over when that cover first loomed up in front of me. If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to. Dorothy Parker

At least it doesn't look like it. Great thread! That Cyclops looks really off spec- even the color is wrong- but I remember seeing that version on a t-shirt or something somewhere.
