18 particularly ridiculous prog-rock album covers. I think Tarkus is cute. Someone should make a stuffed toy version.

Dr. Lazer Rage, in which Christopher Eccleston is quite brilliant.

I remember those How & Why books! My mother had a bunch from when she was a kid.

...The Old Testament, huh? One of these things is not like the others...

Agreed with you on Tarkus. It also looks like it could be an entrant on Robot Wars, combining the cute with the aggressive. Bit lacking in the SRIMEC department on the other hand.

LOL at the "macho men ogling a firm male ass".

I've still got my How & Why books :D

as far as Australian equivalents go, the Australia's XXXX In Colour series published by Reed weren't bad at all.

My mother bought a complete early-edition set of the Books of Knowledge at an auction. I think I read all of them when I was 10-12; it's where I learned that fairy tales were very, very good before Disney tainted them, amongst other amazing things.

She's saving them for me until I have a place to put them. Gorgeous, wonderful books.
