“Mr. Looper? Where did YOU come from?”

Maybe I’ll make Monday the day I post something new and kooky that I’ve learned lately…kind of like the old “Sunday Burst of Weirdness” I used to post back in the old Byzantium’s Shores days.

Anyway, here’s something I didn’t know, and wow, did kids in 1986 dodge a bullet: there was actually discussion about having Big Bird fly on a space shuttle mission.

Yup. That space shuttle mission.

Imagine if that had come to pass. An entire generation of then-children would still be in therapy.
