Maroney — 21 Jan 1999, 13:41 The Daily Telegraph reports today that a second 1856 British Guiana 1-penny stamp has been discovered. The reason I mention this is that I'm pretty sure that this is the stamp which is the lynchpin of John Crowley's _Great Work of Time_. -- Kevin Maroney | Crossover Technologies kmaroney at crossover.com | (212) 777-1190 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ m.driussi — 21 Jan 1999, 22:11 follows, by subject match Kevin J. Maroney Wombat, Ah, what colour is the stamp?(!) Well, if they are reporting that a second 1856 1-penny stamp has been found, it must be magenta. Wow! Spooky! What kind of cancellation does it have--that is, whose initials?! (Since they were hand-canceled with personal initials.) Where was it "found"? If the discoverer's name is "Caspar Last," grab tight your chairs, ladies and jellybeans, because things are going to get very weird--retroactively and forevermore. (Of course, you, Wombat, are the Man Who Knew Too Much. You will have to be eliminated. Watch the shadows--trust no one.) =mantis= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charles Dye — 22 Jan 1999, 17:05 follows, by subject match m.driussi "Kevin J.
