Two new contributions from Josée Bellemare! First, a costuming tip, the first to arrive under the costuming /Cosplay tab. Let’s hope for more of the club’s contributions to that page. The second is an article expanding on one of the themes discussed at a recent panel– The Ark of the Covenant.

Costuming:  As for the sewing patterns I mentioned Sunday, here is the web site. This is just for Simplicity patterns. Besides the usual generic costumes designs, there are costumes inspired from various movies and TV shows. Have a look and see if you find anything of interest.

MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE:  We are actively looking for your costuming tips! Also looking for photographs of your costumes, props, and so on.

“In 1961 a group of Minnesota college students took Moses seriously enough to construct an ark according to his directions. Their instructor had to have the model destroyed because of the dangerously high electrical charge it developed.”

This quote is the only mention I have been able to find on the subject. Many have heard of this experiment but no information can be found to substantiate this story. Did this really happen or is it an urban myth. If it’s real, the students in question would be collecting old age pension by now.

Dr Who News

Brian Blessed, of “Gordon’s Alive” fame expressed an interest in playing the next Doctor. Not sure if he said it first, or if he was responding to a question. If a reporter asked if the role would interest him, he would hardly say, oh, hell, no, lousy show.

He had a role in Doctor Who years back as a barbarian who married Peri, Colin Baker’s companion. He also played two different roles in Blake’s 7. He’s 79, now, and has a pace-maker.

11 members made their way back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. Besides the 14 animatronic dinosaurs, there were two skeletons and 20 fossils. The fossils included everything from a nest of eggs to coprolite.
