Really, someone please write this

[elfbystarlight]

There's a book I desperately want to read and it hasn't been written yet, and if someone hasn't done it (please?) by the time I finally get back to uni it may end up being my thesis.

My working title is:

Alexander the Great: From Chaucer to Star Trek

One day it will happen, people. One day.

Did storm_seller mention to you my discovery that Rimmer from Red Dwarf is Bagoas?

[elfbystarlight]

I... what... you....

you may have just broken something important in my head.

Well, fairly early on Rimmer discloses that he went to someone who can bring out your previous lives, and that this is how he discovered that he was Alexander the Great's chief eunuch.

You cannot hear the counter-tenor shrieking in my head, but trust me, it is epic on a level unfathomable by mere mortal beings.

I, uh, think he wants to sue for slander? That or get Alexander to sic the entire Macedonian army on him. Possibly both.
