Talk:Black Spot (Treasure Island)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Remove reference?

The following reference, I believe, is not related nor in any way a reference to the black spot literary device:

1967. In Logan's Run, those who reach a certain age are executed when their lifeclock, a colored crystal embedded in their hands, turns black.

In the novel, Logan's Run everyone wore a life clock in the palm of their hand; a crystal palm flower that changed color based on the time of life (and role in society). Unlike a black spot, it is not bestowed on/given to a person to "pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgment." Candidate for removal? --Geekers 20:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
