The only one I know of is Olympus Mons on Mars.  I know it's huge compared to Everest.

It would have to be a non-gas planet (or moon)

Hint: he's trying to save his score by buying the machine (one of those arcade machines), and at the end of the show he's trying to move it across the street without getting hit by cars.

Ah, sounds like Frogger. I was going to say Galactica or whatever it was called, but just a guess ;)

All I could really remember was an upright arcade game and pizza. Not helpful!

The point at which paper combusts, of course!



P.S. He (Ray Bradbury) was doing a signing out here (forget the book...  ::) ) a few dozen miles away and I took my old hard-bound copy of F 451 and had him sign it!   d_b

What's the official name for "buckyballs," and/or who are they named after? (Extra credit for both!  ;D )

Extra, Extra Credit!: WHY are them named after that person??
