Carolina, Columbia Lines: 25 Summary:Regarding the drunk inventor query - yes it was Henry Kuttner's (and possibly C L Moore's) Ghalleger (sp?). However, it would be hard to pin down the story as some people have tried, because there were several Ghalleger stories, enough for a book in fact. At least some of the stories did appear in Astounding (before it became Analog). The book was called _Robots_Have_No_Tails and might be credited to Lewis Padgett (one of Kuttner and Moore's many pseudonyms); I haven't seen in in print lately, but it makes for nice light reading if you can find it. If you can't, then I two of the Ghalleger stories ("The Proud Robot" and "Time Locker" (where Kuttner renders the name wrong ) )are in the classic _Adventures_in_Time_and_ Space_ anthology (McComas & Healy eds) which should be available at any decent library (you should really get a copy yourself for that matter , imagine being able to put together an anthology before the field was picked clean).
