sbp asks: why Philosophy? I reply: if you know that, you understand where Doc Rockett comes from. (I do appreciate his other notes on #swhack and have corrected my account accordingly.) --Jcowan 20:16, 26 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Mysteries explained
At this point it probably can do no harm to point out that not only is Doc Rockett himself modeled on Isaac Asimov (sans the fiction writing), but that this very article is taken from Wikipedia's Asimov article, seriously cut down and Ghyllified. Rockett's first and second marriages and his children are Asimov's (though Asimov was firmly het), and his books have titles which are for the most part parodies of Asimov's. --Jcowan 18:09, 6 Oct 2004
The "Rocket J.S." above is Rocket J. Squirrel from the Wikipedia:Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. --John Cowan 22:08, 23 Apr 2005 (EDT)
