Here is something rarely seen: a forged crudely reprint of a bogus stamp.This bogus set was issued for Epirus in 1914 in a design reminiscent of the Greek issue of 1911. There are 8 different stamps to the set and a provisional made by surcharging the 10L. red for use as a 1L. This series/set exist both perforated and imperforated on either white or yellowish woven paper.

This reminds me of a movie that was a bad remake of another bad movie ...

Attack of the The eye creatures (yes, 'the' was used twice in the movie) was a low-budget sci-fi stinker that was made fun of by the cast of MST3K.

When I saw it, I recognized the plot immediately, but not the characters. I starting searching through my movie database and discovered I had seen the movie before - it was the b-movie classic Invasion of the Saucer Men from 1957.

Random, I know! But I love drawing parallels between my various hobbies!
