Subject: More about names of Mars

Ken Edgett <ken.edgett@asu.edu> mentioned that the names of Mars in various languages are the names given to channels on Mars. This is also mentioned in Carl Sagan's book *Broca's Brain*. I have suggested to one of my coauthors that his 5th grade students might enjoy finding these places on a map of Mars and labeling each one with the name of the corresponding county. We are also developing "Hunt the Hurkle" games on a map of Mars (I'm the inventor of the original Hurkle game and have developed several variations with different types of feedback after a guess). As Bernie DeKoven said, "When tools become toys, then work becomes play." Reality expands to fill the available fantasies. Bob Albrecht DragonFun@aol.com
