Well spotted, Mr Jinx.>

I have said before how I hear loads of references to Bob's old songs in>Modern Times. One of the obvious examples is Frankie & Albert.

I doubt that he has taken what he has gathered from coincidence..>

Has anyone spotted the others?

Superfreaks Season 3 #'s 11-12 had the detectives investigating the case

of a murderer who picked his victims according to who posted inflamatory

remarks and/or spam on usenet message boards. The detectives lured in

the killer by posting their own inflamatory remarks and spam on message

boards and waited for him to show up. The killer fought back and was

fatally shot.

A month ago, CSI New York had the detectives investigating the case of a

contract killer who picked her clients online according to who sent out

inflamatory remarks. The detectives lured the killer by sending out

their own inflamatory messages and waited for her to contact them. They

arranged a time to meet but she got suspicious and ran. The detectives

followed, she fought back and she was fatally shot.

Superfreaks Season 3 #12 was posted on January 9th of this year, That

was during the writer's strike. This CSI New York came out a month ago.

It was part of a new crop of episodes that was written after the

writer's strike. We know for a fact that the script for this episode

had not been written prior to the writer's strike because if it had been

it would have been filmed during the writer's strike and not after.

There are a few differences. First of all, my killer had mutant powers

and theirs was merely highly skilled. Second, their killer was

contacting her clients online and was making a living this way: she was

not motivated by a desire to kill people who post inflamatory remarks.

Finally, my killer was using usenet and their killer was using msn

messaging. As usenet is searchable and msn messaging is not (and is, in

fact, supposed to be private), they had to have their killer use a

spyware program that would infect people's computers and have it send

her a message whenever the user would type key words like "dead", "kill"

or "hate". It would make sense if they had started with something

simple like usenet and then moved to msn messager because viewers would

be more familiar with msn messager and spyware than with usenet.

Otherwise, the two stories play out in the exact same way.

This has happened to me before, Back when I first started writing LNH

stories, I created a character named Julie and had her be Deja Dude's

girlfriend. She was Chinese. They eventually broke up. Julie moved on

when she met Philip Martin, a man who looked exactly like Deja Dude.

Within a year, the TV show Friends introduced a new character also named

Julie. She became Ross' girlfriend. She was Chinese. They eventually

broke up. Julie moved on when she met Russ, a man who looked exactly

like Ross.

Eerie, isn't it?

Oh and in an old rec.arts.comics.xbo­oks thread I suggested that they

could do a new series with new students based out of Massechusetts

Academy with Emma Frost as the headmistress. A few years later,

Generation X came out.

Do you ever get the feeling somebody might be out there reading your

posts and not telling you?

I think of it as kharmic backlash.
