LIGHTBULB CONTEST
"How many gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"
Broadway: What is a llll..ighttt...bu bu bulb...lightbulb?
Greg responds...
Okay, you are entered. If I ever -- ever -- finish the month of September, I'll announce a winner.

2.Are there any viruses and bacteria within gargoylesthat can survive stone sleep? If not why? If nature can develop such a defense system as the stone sleep surely nature can develop something that can allow viruses and bacteria to survive (if theres a niche in nature waiting to be filled then it will be filled) unless gargoyles are fundamentally different from humans and other animals on this planet?
Greg responds...
Galvatron,
Again, I kinda feel like you're TRYING to stump me. To make me or the show look foolish.
If that's the goal, congratulations.
If not, I'm not sure how to help you feel comfortable. I've said time and time again that I'm not a scientist. I don't have all the answers. You seem much more well-versed in this then I am. So figure it out to your own satisfaction based on the evidence in the aired episodes.

Gargoyle diseases
1.Do gargoyles get cancer? If so can they die from it?
Greg responds...
1. Tend to think not, but I'm not ruling it out.
Galvatron writes...
Stone Sleep
1. Do Gargoyles cells engage in mitosis/reproduction during stone sleep?
2.How can they be in suspended animation during stone sleep when many biological functions are still active? It doesn't make sense.
Greg responds...
1. I don't know what that means, so I cannot answer.
2. Makes sense to me. But I'm no scientist. How about you come up with an answer?

Dear Greg
1)I just wanted to know what is the status of the Islamic religion in the gargoyles universe?
2)Also in the gargoyles universe do muslims have to live with the stereotype of being terrorists and oppressors of Woman?
Greg responds...
1. I don't have a clue what you mean by "status". Perhaps the best answer I can come up with is that it's no different both in its strength and exceptional abuses than it is in the real world.
2. Again, no real difference between Garg Universe and our universe here.

Hey Greg,
Happy Birthday!
Ok, that wasn't a question, but hey I'm out of ideas at the moment. You're probably thinking, "Thank God!"
Bye.
Greg responds...
Thank God.
No, I mean, thank you!!!

Hi Greg!
Just wanted to say Happy Birthday! Mine was yesterday, so it's easy for me to remember when yours is. Don't know how it is for you, but birthdays have taken on a little stronger meaning for me since the tragedy. I'm old enough that I start to think of birthdays a bit cynically (one year older, etc... I'm 29, BTW), but there are a lot of people won't have any more birthdays ever, so I'm very grateful to be home celebrating with my family and other people I care about. Hope you're doing the same. All the best to you and your family in the year to come!
P.S. Now, can you tell us what Titania whispered to Fox? Just kidding. ;)
Greg responds...
My birthday was over eight months ago, and I can honestly say I don't really remember it. I think I was still in a haze.
But thanks for the good-wishes.
And P.S. No.

Happy Birthday Greg W.
Sorry it wan't a question but I have to say it before I forgot again..
Greg responds...
Thanks, Demona May. (Course, I'm closer to my next birthday at this point, but the thought is very much appreciated.)

Personally, if GARGOYLES was still on the air, I would prefer it pay as little notice to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center as possible. GARGOYLES was about many things, but it dealt with them in its own, contained way. It created its own situations and through them addressed real life issues. I would not want GARGOYLES to become a commentary on current events. It's a fantasy/sci-fi show, and therefore removed from our world, both by theory and in established practice. GARGOYLES is best a timeless show, don't you agree?
Greg responds...
Generally, yes.
And, as I think I've said, I can't think of a respectful way to deal with it anyhow. And if I can't deal with the topic with respect, than I won't deal with it at all. Except perhaps to inform character.

I noticed in the archives that you mentioned Puck of Pook's Hill. Have you read it and its sequel Rewards and Fairies? If so, which do you perfer -- Kipling's take on Puck or Shakespeare's?
Greg responds...
I started reading "Puck of Pook's Hill" to my kids years ago. But at the time they were too young and it didn't hold their interest. I'm afraid I never finished it. Nor have I read the sequel.
So it's not a question of preference. Shakespeare's Puck is the only one I really know -- beyond the Garg version.
