In a bit of wordplay not quite worthy of Ben Franklin, my review of the Star Wars show at the Franklin Institute has a little hidden message for the sharp-eyed reader. First person to guess it gets a free CD from me.

Spotted it! I wrote a poem like this once. It's impressive to see it in a news article, though! I emailed you w/the message/explanation.

VERY NICE, Peter!
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, too!
Initial letter of each paragraph spells out the hidden message. Cleverly done!

One of the joys of parenting is introducing our children to these things, I remember when my son first saw Star Wars and was "lit-up" by it all. The other great film is the original animated version of the Hobbit with John Huston, just terrific...anyway, let's see, to answer your quiz, and this could be stretching it a tad (?), you tell readers in your third graph to watch the video..."after watching Star Wars..." and when they do, the line at the end says "Nothing to see here...etc..."
Cheers,
Paul

The first letter of each paragraph spells out the famous Star Wars phrase "May the Force be with you." Very clever!
