It makes me wonder how much of the rest of the background information is equally ill-researched. It's concerning because Genge apparently doesn't realise that this was a practical joke run by Discover magazine ("Aprile Pazzo" translates to "April Fool"). More concerning, to the meat of the background material at any rate, is illustrated in the entry for "Ice." This describes an Antarctic ice borer, discovered by scientist Aprile Pazzo, which has a hotplate on its head to more easily tunnel through ice and hunt penguins. For instance, do we really need a timeline where at least half the entries are dated as "EXACT DATE UNKNOWN" or a list of potential colleagues for Mulder and Scully (where most of that list appeared briefly and then died, rendering them useless as potential colleagues)? It's filler, and boring filler at that. It's a good idea - taking one or two aspects of each episode and giving a potted history, such as the history of circuses for the episode "Humbug," or the development of handwriting analysis for the episode "Young and Heart." It can get a little dull, however - something which is not helped by quite a lot of useless padding. All from 0.99 New Books from 9.29 Used Books from 0.
