The monster within

What’s that? You have an itch for knowledge? Let Ol’ Scratch have a look!



Did you know …


That the famous monster’s name isn’t actually “Frankenstein”? It’s true! His full name is actually “Dr. Victor Frankenstein,” and his monster, more specifically, is called “incest.” You can’t get engaged to your cousin and also dodge that yucky bullet.

Historians speculate that Victor constructed his patchwork man just so he would have something naked to look at to get thoughts of his cousin, Elizabeth, out of his head. (Premium cable was still more than a century away, and Victor was no good at drawing babes.) Obviously it didn’t work as Victor intended, although the creature eventually did kill Elizabeth, so I suppose it’s six of one, a half dozen of the other.
