Read about my tribute to Dracula, Frankenstein, and the other Universal Monsters.

The Hunt-Lenox Globe, created around 1510.

It's one of the very few maps/globes to actually say "Here Are Dragons."

The words appear on the far edge of Asia -- not a bad guess actually 🐉

After #Ophelia, maybe #TaylorSwift could sing about these #Shakespeare women:

Portia (Merchant) - intelligent, resourceful
Lady M (Macbeth) - ambitious, strong-willed
Viola (12th Night) - brave, clever
Beatrice (Much Ado) - witty, outspoken
Margaret (Henry VI) - fights for her family in FOUR plays

Uniform color palettes for STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES vs. THE NEXT GENERATION.

Watch any TOS episode -- the colors are crazy. The point was to get people to buy color TVs.

I asked Google Gemini to imagine what might happen at that moment.
