"Giving well is the best revenge."

A Thought Experiment
Cheki Boggus, our in-house eschatologist, lets his science-based imagination take wing and questions whether the cosmological King's New Clothes exist at all.

earsm.gif (3936 bytes) EAR ORGASM

No Joy in Mudville,
Or Anywhere Else...
Our guy turns his back on a beautiful sight and starts looking at the faces around him that are looking at the beautiful sight. Which leads him to wonder who's really having fun in this Age of Affluence.

You Are
What You SEE
Sociologists and urbanologists are always coming up with lists of "livable" cities. We've created a more generalized (and, we feel, more useful) list which will tell you how to interpret what you actually see when you get up in the morning and look out the window. Illustrated.

Are You TV-deprived?
The truly cool know it is simply not possible to watch too much TV. The important question for any career- oriented person now is: "Am I watching ENOUGH TV?" Find out with our helpful quiz.

EYEmageS
What, me? You saying I got lazy retinas? Yep, that's what we're saying. So we've worked up a few isometrics to get the old rods and cones back in shape.

Are TV Commercials
American Haiku?
Diebold Essen suggests that great art is hidden away in the raucous, slam-bam thank-you ma'am world of TV hucksterism.

Grand Canyon Breaks
We finally lose our American tourist virginity and go to Grand Canyon. Our response may surprise you. Hint: We got it down to two words.
