Oh my goodness, does this boy love trains. We're on a first-name basis with Thomas, Percy, Gordon, and all the other trains on the Island of Sodor.

One of my friends with a son who is also obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine said the other day. "You know? The Island of Sodor is really a pretty messed up place."

And truthfully, judging from the show, it totally is. Sir Topham Hat is nothing if not a heartless railroad baron. Lady Hat obviously has a little thing on the side with the mayor. And in every episode, there is some horrible crash that is laughed off as carelessness on Thomas's part. It appears that the Island of Sodor is in dire need of stricter railroad regulation, due to the daily occurance of runaway trains. I can only imagine the body count.

Although the Island of Sodor might be a pretty weird place, I'll take it over Barney anyday.
