frozentundraguy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 From the Smithsonian, prairie voles like to drink https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-can-rodents-tell-us-about-why-humans-love-180949441/ The prairie vole first caught science’s eye in the 1970s, when the mammalogist Lowell Getz launched a routine population study in the alfalfa fields and bluegrass pastures close to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he taught at the time. To take the edge off the subzero temperatures at night, he and other researchers sometimes kept Jack Daniel’s in the study shed along with the data sheets and other materials. The alcohol was for the researchers’ own consumption; taste tests since have shown that prairie voles like liquor, and diluted whiskey may in fact have been good vole bait.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 1 Popular Post Share Posted March 1 Two in today. The complimentary #1 was compliments of @Yorick, for which many thanks. The #11 was found at ECCC. And the two of them give me the entire King run of Flash Gordon, unless you insist on having all the various complimentary versions of #1 to be complete. For myself, I'm quite happy with both the standard and one of the complimentary variants. And to any pedants who try to claim I'm not done, because of the Charlton/ Gold Key/ Whitman continuation of the numbering: I've got those all as well. ganni, frozentundraguy, comicjack and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's some artifact of the price variant we've been searching for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Two in today. The Mandrake #5 is from the John G. Fantucchio pedigree and an upgrade, the #8 is the first copy I've owned. Yorick, frozentundraguy and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ID is on the case, and I can't see any other way to they'd be able to ID them (except provenance). Do file copies count as "pedigree"?

Yorick Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Nevermind. Not "file copy", rather "Curator": ...and a Pacific Coast too, I guess. Get Marwood & I, OtherEric and frozentundraguy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think File Copies generally count as pedigree, although there are exceptions, Gaines most obviously, but I would count Crowley as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
