   Bad boy.  :)   
      
   Some Russian fellers take too much to heart and think that every written thing   
   ought to be taken literally.  I think there is some literary licence being   
   taken by the author of that passage.  When I first read it I thought that   
   someone had discovered the Blues Brothers but, no.   
      
   Then there seemed to be an oblique reference to the artwork style (coloured   
   sequences) in the 'Wizard Of Oz' 1930s film.  I think my latter idea is close.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
