In his original design as seen in Fantastic Four #48-50, Galactus has a big G on his chest and I think that&#39;s adorable. It&#39;s like a failsafe to keep you from taking the story too seriously. Later versions mostly replace it with a featureless circle and that&#39;s a shame.

Immersive theater idea: A production of Our American Cousin, complete with assassination of Abraham Lincoln. A two-layered narrative, farce interrupted by tragedy. What effect does the knowledge of what&#39;s coming have on the experience of the first two and a half acts?

I&#39;ve just been experimentally feeding cryptic crossword clues to ChatGPT, including both published ones and ones that I made up and whose solutions are therefore guaranteed to not be in its training data. I find the results interesting. ChatGPT is TERRIBLE at finding the answers, but actually really good at figuring out the wordplay once you tell it what the answer is.

Prank idea: Turing test, but instead of two humans and a computer, it&#39;s three humans. And they all think they&#39;re the judge.
