The science of the summer blockbuster.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a spin off of the Nova Galaxy and Annihilation Conquest. Pete's got issues with this one and Justin agrees. Alex says it's a great first issue.  Then we all agree on Tor #1. It's fun and Joe Kubert's art is top notch.  GeneXt #1 shows the grandchildren of the original X-Men and depicts them as actual kids. It's got a nice old school X-Men feel and brings in lots of old X-Men characters.  Then in the Speed Round we've got Gemini #1, House of Mystery #1, Batman: Death Mask #2, Scud #24 and Pretty Baby Machine #1.  In our viewer mail we talk about how important Superhero merchandise is to the comic book industry.Be sure to catch The Stack three times a week at Pulpsecret.com!  Send you comments and questions to tips@pulpsecret.com

In 1958 John F Kennedy addressed a graduating class at Smith College in Massachusetts. He demanded that they ask themselves if they wanted to be hammers or anvils. He challenged them to use the talents that society had helped develop in them. In saying this Kennedy was using the word develop in a way that is much closer to its etymological roots than might be our use of development in talking about real estate or business development. The word first turned up during Shakespeare s lifetime 400 years ago as disvelop and meant to reveal something. So the de in develop means to take away from velopment. Velopment meant wrapping up or rolling up something. So if you enveloped something by rolling it in a blanket, you developed it by unrolling it and revealing it. JFK s use of develop suggested the bringing out of talents that had lain hidden within the former students. Real estate development certainly doesn t reveal roads, houses and shopping malls that had previously been hidden in farmer s fields and woodlots. When I read that the word develop meant to unroll I instantly jumped to the conclusion that velop must be somehow related to the Latin volvere to roll. Develop came to English from Old French and you know the drill; was French must have been Latin. But not necessarily this time evidently. Here we have a battle of the titans as far as opinion goes on the roots of this word. It definitely was floating around in the Latin-leftover-language that turned into French; but while a guy named Friedrich Diez was thinking along the lines that my assumptions jumped to, Walter Skeat thought it had instead evolved in a Germanic language and been picked up by those same folks who were turning Latin into French. I ve mentioned Skeat before as being a giant in the world of etymology, but I ve not mentioned Diez. He was German and lived through most of the 1800s. He wasn t too much concerned with English dictionaries but he built an important base upon which English dictionaries could be developed. Diez was German and although Old English was built on Germanic roots, his interest was in French and the other Romance languages Spanish and Italian. That may be why he has a sympathy for a Latin etymology for develop. He brought to his studies a kind of scientific method that replaced the guesswork that went into earlier books on the development of these languages. He is important to us because of the degree to which English evolved out of French since he is remembered as one of the founding fathers of Romance philology. Philology literally means love of talk which is why we word lovers are logophiles. Before I go I wanted to remind listeners about two things.

It s for a film from Quebec with English subtitles. The French title is La Grande Seduction and the English title is Seducing Dr. Lewis. The scene is a remote Quebec fishing village where the villagers are trying to lure a doctor to come live in their community. One of the many tricks they use is to play on Dr. Lewis love of the game of cricket. Of course most of the villagers have never heard of cricket. That s disgusting. I mean, sushi is bad enough says one. When told cricket is a sport he asks They race them? Here s a link to a YouTube trailer for the movie where the villagers are making a mess of a game of cricket. There seems to be only a little confusion in the dictionaries over the word cricket. Or should I say words cricket. There are three, the sport, the bug and a more obscure name for a stool. The Oxford English Dictionary makes no connection between the bug and the game. The etymology of the bug s name is imitative of its chirping, creaking call. The game has been said by some to be named after some stool-ball game but the OED dismisses this saying that stools were never called crickets until much later than the name of the game showed up. There seems to have been a French game called cricket and so it s possible that this quintessentially British sport might be named from French 500 or 600 years ago. The English pride in the game was such that about 100 years ago the word cricket went from meaning playing the game, to meaning playing the game properly and fairly to doing anything properly and fairly. The game itself is said to have changed substantially over the years but I can t explain how since I ve never understood it. And confusion seems to crowd around this word, from the confused villagers to the confused etymology to a confused first citation for cricket the insect. The OED points to a 1325 glossary which defines cricket as a salamander. Clearly the compiler of the glossary had either never seen a cricket or never seen a salamander. Back in 2006 I did an episode on the word salamander. It ultimately goes back to Greek and implies that these little damp lizards can survive fire. I also see that the African leader Robert Mugabe is confused about cricket. He is quoted as saying: Cricket civilizes people and creates good gentlemen. I want everyone to play cricket in Zimbabwe; I want ours to be a nation of gentlemen. Hey Robert, gentlemen don t usually keep election results secret. It makes you look like you might have lost but just don t want to admit it, and that s not cricket.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Audible.com Download a free audiobook of your choice today at www.audiblepodcast.com/dictionary Be it ever so humble there s no place like home. I m pretty lucky, because when I hear about people going off on fancy vacations to exotic locations I think Well, it sounds like its pretty nice there, but you know, it s pretty nice right here too. My family somehow doesn t think this is so lucky. They d like to travel more and kind of resent me being such a homebody. In expressing that feeling of it being pretty nice right here I am actually not thinking of home as humble. The Oxford English Dictionary s first citation for humble is extracted from a sermon dated to the year 1250 and carries a definitions of: Having a low estimate of one s importance, worthiness, or merits. I don t have a low estimate of the place I live. I think it s great. Further, I think that makes me well grounded. But grounded sort of gets back at the humble thing because that s actually where humble came from. The ground was its humble origins. Before showing up in 1250 humble came to England s shores with French. The French aren t always so good at pronouncing H and this was true in the case of humble so most people back 800 or 900 years ago pronounced the word umble. This lead to some other problems I ll come to in a moment. Before being French of course the word was Latin and came from the Latin word humus meaning ground. If you take a walk through the forest the ground is covered in humus, it s that layer of decomposing leaves. This is quite different from hummus, that Middle Eastern paste made from garbanzo beans or chickpeas. Hummus tastes much better than humus. So the lowly meaning of humble is because whatever was being referred to as humble was seen as being as low as the ground. As I said, early on instead of pronouncing humble with an H it came out as umble. This resulted in the phrase humble pie, as someone is said to be eating when they publicly embarrass themselves or are made to apologize for something. Umble was a word in its own right. It meant the organ meat of an animal. So originally if you were eating umble pie it was pretty well like eating kidney and liver pie. Since these meats were not high on the gourmet scale and the word just happened to line up with the lowly meaning of a similar sounding word. To eat humble pie emerged as English speakers began again to pronounce the H in humble. That old umble came from Latin also and meant loin and as such is related to lumbar, the place on your back that expensive chairs are supposed to help support. The phrase I started with there s no place like home comes from an old song by an American actor and playwright named John Howard Payne. A more expanded version is: Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there s no place like home; A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne er met with elsewhere. It s from a play called Clari: Or, The Maid of Milan. I think the fact that we all recognize the line is a nod to the power of mass media when theatre was one of the only mass media around. John Howard Payne did what young actors still do, he left his humble home looking for the bright lights of the most famous stages in the world. Except back in 1812 those were in England. There was a war on between America and England at the time so when he arrived in London he was at first tossed in jail as a spy. Later he made good in his acting career and fell in love with a married woman whose name you might know. Mary Shelly, author of Frankenstein. Shelly in turn appeared to be sweet on a buddy of Payne s, Washington Irving but some say that was just a rouse to discourage Payne s advances. I said Mary was married but in fact she was a widow by that time so maybe she really did have a thing for Irving.
