Caught this on another blog and it peaked my interest. Could be a start of an investigation of why and how he is always there.

Anyone else read the novel "The Voice Of Armageddon" (see: http://www.amazon.com/Voice-Armageddon-DAVID-LIPPINCOTT/dp/B000GRFGO2 for some details) ?? I heard definite echos of that book after seeing the web-page in question.....

I don't get the reference to "Plain Jane."

Lucius Alexander

The palindromedary also suspects photoshop was involved

4th edition Dark Champions had a character named "Plain Jane". A low level mutant, she slowly faded out of the sight and minds of her family. She has an invisibility always on zero end. She could be seen in pictures or video (she stood onstage next to the president and fired a gun. The Secret Service dogpiled the Pres, but could not locate the shooter even though she was still on stage). She was a deux ex machina as she could see meetings with crime figures and leave notes or email to the heroes.

He was all over the place.

I see he pretty much wears one shirt all the time. I was skeptical that the photos weren't photoshopped because of that. He's just the typical fame chaser. Odd duck.

Reminds me of a Ray Bradbury story, in which the main character notices that whenever there is a fatal accident certain faces always show up in the crowd of onlookers.

Sounds interesting. What is the name of the Bradbury story?

It is called "The Crowd," and (after searching through my Bradbury books) I found it in the collection called The October Country.

It was also performed on the "Ray Bradbury Theater (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0683209/)" series on HBO (a long time ago).
