The bit about him being rejected for the RC priesthood looks dubious - substantiate. PatGallacher 02:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiariasm
The section "Spooner was an albino, small, with a pink face, poor eyesight, and a head too large for his body. His reputation was that of a genial, kindly, hospitable man. Spooner seems to have been something of an absent-minded professor. He once invited a faculty member to tea "to welcome our new archaeology Fellow." "But, sir," the man replied, "I am our new archaeology Fellow." "Never mind," Spooner said, "Come all the same."" is plagiarised from Reader's Digest.

In about 1948 I read someplace that Spooner referred to the "Crown Prince of Norway" as the "Brown Quince of Norway" but I cannot find it now. Anybody who can - please add to main page. Carrionluggage 13:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
