Is cubicle life getting you down? That stash of trail mix isn't helping? Maybe you should check out some of those motivational posters in the lunchroom. Maybe not. At least you can take heart in knowing that some corporations spend a lot more on art, such as your boss's totemistic statue to keep the stock price up.

Know C, the programming language? How about Duff's Device? (This article should scare C programmers for reasons only C programmers understand, and everyone else for reasons C programmers just don't understand.)

Williams, manufacturer of the best pinball machines in the '90s, stopped about 18 months ago. Pinball 2000 died before the end of 1999. Now Williams makes slot machines. But there's still hope: Sega sold their pinball division. Now it's Stern Pinball. Familiar? Remember Berzerk? Same logo, same guys named Stern, but it's all pinball now. They've solicited one of the best designers, Pat Lawlor, for an upcoming game. Read up at the Internet Pinball Database.

Straight chicks: alone and lonely on this Saturday night? Invited out but have no date? The hell with Mister Right, have you considered a Mister Right Now? While most Men for Hire cater to other men, there are some who work exclusively for women. Some are just dates, while others like to put on a show. And, gentlemen, ever think about trying a new career? Here's some hints to get you started.

Daniel 3:5 (in the King James version) mentions a number of odd instruments. The flute and harp are well-known, and our readers may know the dulcimer, but how many of you know what a cornet, sackbut, or psaltery is?

The cancellation of Doctor Who by the BBC over a decade ago has left fans of the series a bit hungry for more. Fortunately, people like The Federation have been making fan videos "since the Reagan administration". One of their recent efforts is to get some Doctor Who out on the web. "Make a 6 minute video and we'll put it on our website!" they say. And they have. Supposedly, one of them isn't even a complete joke. Personally, I recommend the 6 Minute Time Slacker video. If you're not screeching "FISHYSNAX" by the time it's over, there's something wrong with you.

I'm not sure if Luddite is a real company or just a joke, but you've got to question a website that sells wooden computers and also gives you a list of the founder's other failed wood-related businesses.

Some children take good care of their toys... and then there are those who like to take things apart. We could psychoanalyze these people all day and speculate on why the educators wait until high school to let people dissect small animals, but hey, I think we all have our own destructive urges to fulfill.

I was happy to find the Center for the Public Domain, what with the corporate landgrab for ideas I didn't think were ownable. Still, I wonder if reasonable intellectual property laws can come from an organization with a copyright at the bottom of each page.

I thought the stock crash killed off dumb dotcoms. BidForSurgery.com proved me wrong -- but I've always wondered what would happen if you could bid for doctors.

Good comics are hard to find. Bad comics, alas, are much easier to locate. However, they're also much more fun to ridicule.

Do you remember playing Dungeons and Dragons in the late 70s and early 80s? Do you remember what you were like back then? Unfortunately for you, someone does remember all to well. Worse yet, they've made a little movie about it.

The system dynamics analysis of a religious experience establishes a scientific basis for the core of religion. That is, seen from the outside all religions are diverse, but at the very essence or core of each religion resides the sacred structure and essence of religion. The analysis presented here of this structure and essence forms a general theory of religion.
