VLVL2 (12): Knight of the Living Dead

[Tim Strzechowski]

219.30:  " ' What do you call a Thanatoid with 'Sir' in front of his name?  Knight of the Living Dead!  How many Thanatoid's it take to screw in a light bulb?  None -- it gets too hot in there!  What does a Thanatoid do on Halloween?  Puts a fruit bowl on his head, two straws up his nose, and goes as a Zombie!' "


Wade Davis, The Serpent and the Rainbow
