Bidding on Wilczek and Devine DNA continues, thanks to link-love not only from me but also from Greenpass Zoe (“People will do anything!”) and a lovely post by Julie titled “Clone Betsy Devine”.
Frank, who is as we know a genius, points out that bidder “betsythedevine” is probably not too anonymous. Said bidder’s excuse is that he or she would enjoy a souvenir of an unforgettable encounter with blue and green painted aliens at the Rymdgymnasiet. Opposing bidder “oceanman” no doubt represents a secret evil clone-lab somewhere in the mid-Pacific. |
The aliens were planning to destroy all life on our planet, but Odd Minde had persuaded them to hold off if the visiting Nobel Prizewinner and his spouse could give good answers to their many and diverse questions.
Fortunately, they liked the answers we gave (one of which was “42”), and instead of destroying the planet showered us with booty, including a puzzle showing the Northern Lights and a pin of a snowgoose (“kiruna”) that’s now on my jacket.
The eBay auction now has a photo of the ITEMS IN ACTION, but their photo doesn’t include the aliens, so I’m putting that up in this blog.
