Hmmmm... seems to me the title's simply 'Mars Needs Women'. And for those many who are just dying to know what that means (it is a bit out of context), that's just Tonio's roundabout way of telling a girl off; as in: "There ain't room on this whole Earth for *that* kind of charm" Anyway, anyone see Oct. 19th's Bloom County? It shows the little black kid (whose name escapes me obviously) outside looking thru a telescope while behind him a tiny martian ship lands and sticks up a poster behind him that reads (you guessed it) "Mars Needs Women." After the ship flys away unnoticed, the little kid jots in his logbook: "slow night..." Is there some significance to the phrase "Mars Needs Women" or is its correlation to a Tonio K. song (and my signature!) just another example of synchronicity??? I think it's a plot... -- All right, ya want a quote, I'll give you a quote: "I hear Mars needs women, baby; you should apply..."
