| God, the tension is everywhere. I haven't committed to a side,
but I have an inclination. I don't
have much time. Is this insanity?
Or does man's factionalism serve a higher purpose?
Nevermind. Definitely insanity. to Games by akk |

| Back in the stone age of recording, music was recorded on wax
cylinders. Since mass production techniques had yet to be developed, performers
often recorded the same songs hundreds or even thousands of times. George
Washington Johnson probably held the record with The Laughing Song.

| Physical resemblences aside, Bruce Sterling isn't apt to be confused with perpetual Hollywood Squares guest Bruce Vilanch anytime soon. While Vilanch may be reknowned in some circles for his comedic stylings on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards show, Sterling is a member of the cyberpunk literary genre who published the seminal guide to hacker culture: "Hacker Crackdown". In 1998, he delivered a now famous speech that launched the Viridian movement -- dedicated to promoting a radical environmentally-conscious theory of industrial design inspired by Viridian's 'Cybergreen' beliefs.

to Sex by fatherdan |
| Polythelia is the medical term for having more than two nipples. It can occur in men and women, and the extra nipples are usually vertically aligned with the normal two, despite how they are portrayed in the movies. They were long thought to be the mark (or Marky Mark) of a witch, but they can now be safely removed to avoid being burned at the stake. Eventually I found two pages with somewhat dubious statistics about polythelia, but the best information about it for a layperson such as myself can be found at Nerve.
