Heh... and then they all end up in a used bookstore in western Pennsylvania in the middle of a politcal discussion and have to fight their way out with kung fu and Encyclopedia Britannica: E through Ent.

Just don't put it in your mouth. You don't know where it's been.
How about a cursed dollar bill? Anyone who spends it ends up like a Cartwright's girlfriend.

Did Jerry Pournelle already write that? / grin

That's a pretty cool story idea! I've never read anything like it... but it sorta feels like a Twilight Zone episode.
By the way, I just finished watching The Faculty on the SciFi channel... Elijah Woods got to kill the queen alien and be a hero!

Did Jerry Pournelle already write that?I dunno! Did he? Hmmmmm... I've never read any of Pournelle's solo stuff....
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
It just sounds like something he would write. Not the exact scenario, just similarities...

I have seen The Faculty... he saves the day and gets the girl!

The cursed bill adds another element... hmmmm....

I would definitely have to put myself in the Hobbit category. I love food, drink and lively conversation, and the bottoms of my feet are like leather! Thankfully, though, the tops are not hairy! K, I'm a hobbit too :o)

he saves the day and gets the girlYes, the head cheerleader in fact!

And someone finally figures out the curse business but once the curse is recognized, it changes! So the do-gooder curse tracker has obtained the bill to protect the world, but now that he has it, he starts dying....slowly. So does he keep it or pass it to someone else who may die?

Well, I can see where it would appeal to his political views! :) But, this is just going to the first story in a series... the political stuff won't become obvious until later installments....
