The Inside Story of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”
If you’re a fan of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you’ll want to check out Eddie Deezen’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit: The Inside Story.
If you do, you’ll learn…
- Why the title to Who Framed Roger Rabbit doesn’t end with a question mark.
- That before Bob Hoskins earned the starring role that Harrison Ford, Bill Murray, Sylvester Stallone, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, and Ed Harris were all considered. You’ll also learn who the comedian was that was never offered the role, but would have “happily taken on the role of Eddie.”
- The silly reason John Cleese didn’t get the role that ultimately went to Christopher Lloyd.
- Why Who Framed Roger Rabbit had the most cartoon characters from different companies in the same project, “yet Popeye, Tom & Jerry, Little Lulu, Caspar the Friendly Ghost, and the Terrytoon characters (except for Mighty Mouse)” didn’t make it into the film.
- And a whole lot more.

The Only Mercury Meteorite on Earth
What you’re looking at [if you’re looking at the photo above] is what scientists believe to be is the only meteorite from Mercury on our planet.
How can they tell? The rock’s magnetism matches that of Mercury perfectly. It also has high amounts of magnesium and chromium but a low amount of iron, which is apparently what scientists would expect from a chip off of Mercury.
Don’t you love stuff like this?
