Surely this must be a reason for picking that year to time travel back to. Unfortunately, he died April 18, not November 5, so I still haven't found a reason for the date. Maybe they simply chose Nov 5 because they knew that was the night that the Honeymooners episode with Ralph as a spaceman (?) premiered (just speculating, I don't know). -- UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!dday Dept. of Computer Science CSNet: dday@umcp-cs University of Maryland ARPA: dday@maryland College Park, MD 20742 (301) 454-4247 /* End of text from prism:net.movies */
