59 Foolin' With You
Court jesters have been associated with positions of authority throughout time in memorial from the Pharoah Neferkere to the conquests of Atilla the Hun to the Battle of Hastings and through the Age of Discovery. These wisecracking wearers of the "cap and bells" have gone by various titles: minstrel, juggler, jolly, clown, comedian, joker, harlequin, and fool. Join Albort as he gets acquainted with the innocent and clever funambulists of Bloody Mary, the King of 1,000 slippers, the Virgin Queen, and the Bard of Avon. You will also discover what made Lord Minimus so anomalous, Archibald Armstrong so dastardly and the Groom of the Stool so indispensable.

58 1986: Balki In Space
1986 (a 365-day time frame fraught with discharge of toxic material, skyjackings, and espionage) was dubbed the International Year of Peace by the United Nations. And why not? The U.K. and Netherlands officially ended the 335-Years War, Hands Across America was raising funds for hunger and homelessness, the late Martin Luther King Jr. was honored with a Federal Holiday, and Pee-Wee Herman bridged the gap between adult and child, encouraging all humankind to be themselves. The curiosities of MCMLXXXVI also include the pirating antics of Captain Midnight, the theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman, the scandalous Iran-Contra affair, and premiere of Perfect Strangers.
