The slightly un-PC working title, "Hannibal Fogg and the Supreme Secret of
Man" (which I guess is at the discretion of the publishing house), certainly
leaves the author with something to live up to. Anything short of "OMG!
OMG!", such as: "Well, actually, in the end the Supreme Secret eluded Fogg",
would be shortchanging the reader, perhaps?

Or something like the answer to everything is not 42 as previously
reported. Like everything else these days, the answer to everything
has been down sized to 37.

Thanks for the T.S. updates,

The beauty of Theater is that you buy your ticket knowing what you are
about to witness is only play acting. And then in spite of the
illusion, sometimes you can walk out from that theater better informed
as to Reality.

Take Care,
