"Giving well is the best revenge."
  --Douglas Milburn.

Lines Found by Mr. Temple Duciel in the Poste Restante, Duino, Italy
Lines which in fact indicate that not only is the 20th century gone but it is as good as forgotten.

Not All Texans Are Like George W. Bush
For example... Columbus is this sleepy little southeast Texas town that's clearly proud of its 19th century past. If you keep driving around you discover that old houses are not the only things the citizens of Columbus have been taking care of.

R U Ready for Your Next Life???
As the old S.A.T. fades in relevance, the editors of Magellan's Log felt it was time for a new, more 21st-century test, which we have now created and offer as a FREE service to our loyal readers.

Re: View
For you cultural elitists out there, Saramae Anahuac has a few--eight, actually--words of one syllable arranged as what, in another age, might've been called poetry. You have been warned.

Comfort Me with Epigrams: The World According to Peter De Vries
Temple Duciel, our book guy, has been  mucking about in the 20th century again, quixotically looking for laughs. He found some.

"W.Q"? Wisdom Quotient. Yep. A test like no other. Are we serious? Yes. Is it biased? Yes. But it's a start.

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the funniest book of the 21st century (so far).

Really HOT Links 75
Clearly, busy little staff fingers have been spending a lot of time exploring the farther reaches of the Internet this month, yielding the biggest--and maybe weirdest--collection of links yet.

Zen Centerfold 75
Some people pay a lot of money for objects of contemplation. Here's another of our Zen Centerfolds, for free.

98-pound Weaklings, Whoopee Cushions,
X-ray Glasses, and Joy Buzzers
Classic ads from the golden age of comic books. Slideshow with midi (2:05).

Murray Perahia Performs Bach's Goldberg Patchwork Variations.
Angus Verspeeten unloads on the 21st century's latest musical wonderboy, finding a kinship with a certain political wonderboy whose initials are GWB.

The Price of Sin: Movie Posters Like They Don't Make Anymore
Bottom-feeding on the Internet, we've come up with some oldies-but-goodies from lobbies of days gone by. Definitely NSFFC (Not Safe for Fundamentalist Christians).

In which a thinking Texan (no, that is NOT always an oxymoron) wrestles with his dual-state allegiance, winding up bloodied and (at best) half-bowed. To flee or not to flee: that is the question.
