Yesterday’s News Today
On this
day in 1877 Edgar Cayce, known to his followers as the sleeping prophet, and one
of only five people to have a pokemon named after them was born. Outside of
Japan the pokemon who were named in a tribute to Cayce and Uri Geller (the
pokemon that Cayce's pokemon evolved into) were changed because Geller
misunderstood the concept of pokemon and thought that the pokemon that bore a
name similar to his own was evil because Ash had to face it in a gym battle so
he sued. Nintendo won the case of course. In case anyone is wondering the other
three real people with pokemon named in their honour are: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan
and Napoleon Bonaparte.
And now
the news:
