Does this mean something other than a wu tang fan?
- B1FF_PSUVM 3y agoI think that was later ... In the 1980s there was a surfeit of B-initial SF writers (as in the article's picture). Also there was some media noise about killer bees, and they became part of the standard dungeon zoo, I think. Plus, possibly just "the Bees" would prompt "What, the Bee Gees?", a terrible risk.
