Honestly....after email spammers we have blog spammers. Whoever left those comments, if you're reading this, kindly refrain from promoting your sites through my blog.

Hey IS.. this is JJ! I can't believe someone remembers me after all these years! Pete got too old for his stunts and Bob still works part time at the library where my grand kids go. But I'm still the same old.. very old.. Jupiter Jones!

Wonderful...all my dreams come true after all! If the teenaged Jupiter Jones had had a girlfriend, she'd have been like me. The grown up (and grown-old) one I'm not so sure of though....intelligent boys seem to grow up into cranky old men!
Apoorva: I remember seeing your email address and wondering I'd encountered another 3 investigators fan! Seemed like too much of a coincidence though...I didn't know anyone else who reads the series. I have a collection now.

Those blog comment spammers are all over the place. Unfortunately, the spammer signs up for a blogger account manually, but the rest of the commenting procedure gets done via s/w programs :-( So that sincere request of yours is unfortunately not gonna be seen by any of those spammers.
I remember reading The Three Investigators in 4th-5th-6th grade; that series was much better than any of the Famous Five, Super Seven and the likes.
Does anybody reading Bobssey Twins series?

I remember reading one of those too. But the three investigators were my hot favorites...and the five-findouters before that (Ah...there was the irrepressible Fatty too!)
Any ideas on how chubbiness/stockiness came to be associated with smartness?

Hey IdeaSmith, Fatty belonged to what book? Five-Findouters doesn't sound familiar. I remember reading books with Fatty in it though, just don't remember the series.
People make fun of the chubby girl/guy, And the chubby character makes a come-back by solving the case, hence.
Hmmm, btw...Chet in Hardy Boys, and Bess (I am not sure about her name) in Nancy Drew series, both stocky , were characterized to be 'not the intelligent ones'.

I used to love the Nancy drew series as long as I was in School. Fatty was in the Mystery series (my guess) by Enid Blyton.
