What exactly was so weird about Lewis Carroll?
Q. Marilyn Manson's upcoming film "Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll" is, mainly telling the story of the "disturbing" life Lewis Carroll led. Which leaves me to wonder, what is so strange about his life? Apprently he stammered a bit, but otherwise it is claimed he was fairly outgoing, and had resonable social skills. It has been suggested that he was a paedophile, but this has never been proving or had any substantial evidence. Admitedly, he was an eccentric character, but I don't get quite what is "dusturbing" about his life?

A. Actually, there is nothing 'weird about Lewis Carroll' (we should say Charles Dodgson of course'. What is weird is the mythology that has been created around him. It is particularly 'weird' that despite all the very well documented refutals of this idea that Carroll is some sort of reclusive, arch conservative quasi paedophile (none of which is actually true!) the myth persists.

Q. In the hig 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," (still running today in reruns) the patriarch of the family was named Archie Bunker, played by the late actor Carroll O'Connor. Archie was a beer drinking, cigar smoking blue collar worker. Does anyone know what brand of cigar he smoked in the scenes where he was seen smoking a stogie?

A. Well...he didn't smoke on stage, but rather on a set. His favorite cigars were the Montecruz 210 and Macanudo Baron de Rothschildes, so I don't see any reason why he would smoke anything different at work...

A. Man being an SC fan, i hope he's our coach forever because of the success we got from him. But i can see maybe he'll do it for another 7-10 year before we get another coach in here.
