Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
It’s not morning anymore, and this video also isn’t of a cartoon…so pretty much this whole post is a FAIL already. But last night when I was asking Nico what I should post for this week’s SMC, his eyes lit up with glee as he squealed, “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!” It was very similar to asking a kid how old he is and answering, “Ice cream!” He was so filled with joy, I didn’t have the heart to tell him that he’s adorable, but nonetheless an idiot who can’t answer basic questions.
So here it is, a clip of Eric Costello totally laying the smack-down on Africa. It’s amazing, and depending on who you are, might even spark an identity crisis.
