Ah, I seem to have overlooked that my original inspiration was in FOUR parts. The May 2011 issue of Discover magazine being the fourth. Well, actually, more like the capstone atop years of this line of thinking. I also credit Erich Von Daniken for perverting my mind with these "what if" scenarios; leading me to, in extreme cases, conceive of such psuedo-historical scenarios as "Jesus was the king of vampires" which, I assure you, makes perfect sense in a carefully contrived context. Be it a comic book or an RPG plot.
