A British children's author had a character in one of his books named Mohammad the Mole. Sadly, he used that name in order to promote "multiculturalism." Well now the author, Kes Gray, has renamed his mole as Morgan ... so that he doesn't offend Muslims.

Morgan the Mole .. now that does have a certain ring to it.

After the Mohammad teddy bear outrage in Sudan, Gray has postponed a reprint of his book, Who's Poorly Too, so that the name could be changed. The book has sold over 40,000 copies. He has other characters such as Dipak the Dalmatian and Pedro the Penguin ... all of his characters were named in an effort to be "inclusive."

Excuse me while I get rid of my breakfast.

The hurricane lamp I have submitted belonged to my Great-grandparents.  It was converted from a kerosene lamp to electric many years ago.  It has the letters "B & H" on the cover to the fill hole on the side of the lower globe.  On the bottom, is stamped "G.G. Co." and "865".

I can remember seeing the lamp on a table in my grandparent's living room when I was growing up.  After they both passed, my father had it in his room.  For Christmas this year, my Dad surprised my by packing it up and sending it to me as my special gift!  Now it sits proudly in my home.  I have done some reasearch on-line to try to estimate the value, but have not found anything with the two globes.

I would be honored to have a professional assess it for me.  Thankyou for your consideration.
