NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.  For the umpteenth time.  It was not the Maxine Headroom
demo, it was the GIRL.   THE PHYSICAL GIRL HERSELF IN THE FLESH!!!  (She looks
much better in person than in the video).

Sheesh.  You guys can't even take a joke.

See what I mean???  Yet another poster who thinks that Leo came up with
the idea all by his lonesome.  (And Doyle wonders why PIXAR is pissed).


The idea of the unicycle came from PIXAR.  Leo get's an "A" for implementation

It is far easier to implement than it is to conceive.
This is especially true in the case of art.
