Rendezvous with Regulus
Many may remember the famed tap shoe duet, Regulus and Remus. Yes. Those twain amazed dozens. However, even at the height of their popularity, Regulus and Remus kept secret the fact that they were twins. That’s correct. They had the same father but slightly different mothers. That’s right. The mothers of Regulus and Remus were actually twin sisters who helped conceive Regulus and Remus almost simultaneously, that is, within an hour of each other.
In the old days, the circumstances surrounding the parentage of the twain future tap dance partners would have been considered unusual by some, immoral by some, and miraculous by some. Nowadays, these same circumstances are made potentially commonplace by unusual, immoral or miraculous advances in medical technology.
Of the twain twins, Regulus was the more articulate. Therefore, Regulus got the honor of getting to be placed in the heavens as a naked eye star. Such placement of a mere mortal actual historical person in the sky as a naked celestial object is rare.
Remus, on the other hand, is also up there, the largest of the triplet companions of Regulus. And now, on the morning of February 28 of the Julian, Comet Lulin is fixing to get in the twain twin faces of Regulus and Remus. I shall be front and center for that show.
By the way, Comet Lulin does not appear to be getting brighter, only bigger and more diffuse. Crumby may have already spelled that, but it bears repeating. Repeating bears!
Repeating Bears. Er. Actually, repeating bears would make a good song, sung to the tune of, Over the Sea, Let’s Go Men.
The preceding is a production of Ray Pistrum Enterprises. I, Ray, am substituting for my bosom companion Crumby. Crumby is still asleep. Crumby, when I was fixing to wake him up, spelled, Wake me up Ray, when the Retards have been deported at last.
Hold it! Here’s Crumby after all.
Yes. Here I am, up at last. Sometimes an average Druid Ovate like me prefers dreams to the wide awake. What’s this though? Ray, the twins are Romulus and Remus. I don’t reckon they were tap dancers either. But you are right about the rendezvous, bosom companion. Plus, tonight M95 and M96 may be in the field of Comet Lulin. Or would be if I could employ a low enough power and still espy those galaxies.
