Hello, I'm Coryphantha, and I've been a Wikipedia editor since May 2018. My main area of interests are American and Latino actors and actresses and the movies they appeared in, specifically the golden age of cinema. They don't make 'em like they used to. I'm also interested in early American comedy TV, laughter is the spice of life. I'm also a big Jack Benny fan, who had a huge influence on modern American comedy, and is the reason I still tell people I'm 39.

Buster Keaton was the original stunt guy, handsome in his own way, and brilliant at planning and producing his own stunts with minimal injuries. If you have time, check out his movie The General and be sure to watch it to the end.

I've created 18 articles in main space, my favorite among them is Queta Lavat, and Raquel Pankowsky as a close second. Ten articles is pretty good, even for a fairly new editor, but I'm certainly not done by a long shot. The future is still an empty slate, dotted with many a new article.

My ideal romantic date would be a dinner at an authentic Mexican restaurant, where my date keeps slipping the Mariachi band twenty dollar bills, so they'll keep playing his requests at our table, the first of which would be Si Nos Dejan.

Orion in The Book of Fixed Stars
The Book of Fixed Stars (Arabic: كتاب صور الكواكب kitāb suwar al-kawākib, literally The Book of the Shapes of Stars) is an astronomical text written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) around 964. Following the Graeco-Arabic translation movement in the 9th century AD, the book was written in Arabic, the common language for scholars across the vast Islamic territories, although the author himself was Persian. It was an attempt to create a synthesis of the comprehensive star catalogue in Ptolemy's Almagest (books VII and VIII) with the indigenous Arabic astronomical traditions on the constellations (notably the Arabic constellation system of the Anwā'). The original manuscript no longer survives as an autograph, however, the Book of Stars has survived in later-made copies. This image from the book shows the constellation of Orion, in mirror image as if on a celestial globe, and is from a copy in the Bodleian Library dated to the 12th century AD.Ilustration credit: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi
