gad... this facebook thing is insane...

did a search on marketing via facebook ... there are some powerful sounding results...

to counter balance I first looked at the result that said it WASN'T a viable marketing tool...


even the comments there are interesting.

A crazy page.... Television Tropes & Idioms, and The Thirteenth Warrior (movie)

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage <- interesting crazy site for writing fiction.

got there by looking for info about "The Thirteenth Warrior",  which while an interesting film seemed to be loaded with bullshit.

My biggest nit pick is "how did the Northmen not know about the bear people since there were obviously thousands and thousands of them living right over the hill?"

Second nit pick... did Crichton have any actual evidence that the famous "earth goddess statue" was part of a canibalistic tribe that believed they were bears?
