Thanks for the bump! I really enjoyed reading this thread.
I've never seen the double character error on any character, but WAY back in the 70's, I was riding up front in the monorail, and we were stopped between stations for whatever reason, and down below on the ground, there were 3-4 characters walking along WITH THEIR HEADS OFF. They were carrying them under their arms.
The driver said something like "Oh, no - they're not supposed to be here with their heads off" and sounded his horn - as a warning that they could be seen from the monorail. We expected them to scurry and hide behind one of the topiaries that were there or something, but instead they just looked up at the monorail and waved and smiled! I'll never forget that!
Oh blimey. What a load of plonkers! :lol:
