<edit> And although I was technically correct, I probably should have traced it back to the original movie!

Astronomical features? I seem to have this thing in my head about Clemens being some amateur astronomer.

[daverichardson]

No, kinda, no

I know Twain is quoted as something along the lines of " I came in on a comet" i cant remember the exact quote. Its in a book i have somewhere.

Other than that i have nothing. Twain was a bit of a tech geek. No idea what the link would be.
