A very respectable reading of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by Michael Gough, best known as the fourth actor to play a live action Alfred.一个非常尊敬的读“情歌J阿尔弗雷普鲁弗洛克”迈克尔歌赋,最有名的作为第四演员扮演一个活生生的行动阿尔弗雷德。 This reading will have to do, since sadly all the Eliot readings have been pulled from online.这读将不得不这样做,因为可悲的所有艾略特的读数已撤出从线上。 The only versions left are really scary ones where somebody's taken a still photo of Eliot and has animated him mouthing the words.唯一的版本,左边的是真正可怕的那些有人的采取了仍然照片艾略特,并已动画唱衰他的话。 Makes The Polar Express look positively non-terrifying, I tell you.使极地特快积极研究非可怕,我告诉你。

Posted on 12.04.07 by Widge @ 1:43 pm张贴于12.04.07由widge @下午1时43分
本书,据推测,必将在人体皮肤

Ran across遇到 this in the Telegraph这在电报 , that a book bound in human skin was sold this past weekend at auction. ,即一本书,必将在人类皮肤售出,这在过去的周末在拍卖。 What's unique about this book is not the whole human skin bit.有什么独特的关于这本书是不是整个人类皮肤位。 As anyone who's seen Evil Dead or read作为任何人谁的看到邪恶的死亡或阅读 this Sky News article这条新闻的天空 knows, "Anthropodermic bibliopegy" is not uncommon.众所周知, “人皮书”并不鲜见。

What's slightly odd is that the book is about有什么有点奇怪的是,这本书是关于 the 1605 Gunpowder Plot在1605年火药阴谋 (yes, it's the one you're thinking of) and the person whose skin the book is supposedly bound in is Father Henry Garnet, who was killed for being involved in said plot (even though if the Wikipedia article is correct, he was only a supporting character and not really involved per se). (是的,它的一个您思想)和人的皮肤本书是在假定的约束,是父亲亨利石榴石,谁被打死,被涉及的在说,阴谋(即使如果维基百科的文章是正确的话,他只支持的性质和没有真正涉及本身) 。 Also, as a creepy bonus, the cover is said to have a tormented face on it if you look at it right.此外,由于creepy花红,封面上是说有一个的折磨,面对资讯科技如果你看看它的权利。 Here in America we're constantly finding Jesus and Elvis faces on everything from toast to billboards about pasta, so that's kinda old hat for us.这里在美国,我们正在不断寻找耶稣和电子出口证资料系统面临的一切从致祝酒辞,以广告牌约面食,使的kinda岁的帽子,为我们。

Anyway,总之, the BBC states the book went for £5,400 in the auction英国广播公司国家图书到5400万英镑在拍卖中 . And now...I'm not a superstitious or skittish kind of person, but if I get word that anybody so much as breathes the word "Candar" around that thing, then I will be kicking somebody's ass.现在...我不是一个迷信或skittish样的人,但如果我得到这个词的人这么多,作为呼吸单词“詹达尔”前后的事,那么我会踢别人的驴。
