| 2300 years after Euclid penned Elements, a thorough treatise on geometry, Oliver Byrne published his version, in which the striking use of color creates beautiful visual explanations of Euclid's work. A more modern advance represents each proof through the use of interactive java.

| Sunday Sep 1, 2002 | How did witches of old fly on broomsticks? One theory is that their broomsticks were smeared with hallucinogenic chemicals, which the witches' held closely to their, ahem, nether regions. The phallic overtones are not to be dismissed, either. One wonders then what the hell Harry Potter's merchandisers were thinking—considering the charges of satanism, paganism, and corruption of the innocent levelled against him—when they developed a toy broom that vibrates.

| In Ambrose Bierce's entry in the Devil's Dictionary for trial we find that: "In 1451 a suit was brought against the leeches infesting some ponds about Berne, and the Bishop of Lausanne, instructed by the faculty of Heidelberg University, directed that some of 'the aquatic worms' be brought before the local magistracy. This was done and the leeches, both present and absent, were ordered to leave the places that they had infested within three days on pain of incurring 'the malediction of God.'" to History by fool |

| In a transparent attempt to ape the success of its teutonic competitor and their wildly popular BMW Films, Mercedes-Benz hired Michael Mann (director of Heat) to direct the charismatic Benicio Del Toro as the luckiest man alive in Lucky Star. Lucky Star is presented as a movie trailer (though there is no actual movie to speak of) and was first shown in theaters in London along with conventional trailers.

| Tuesday Aug 27, 2002 | Is the vegan prohibition against leather cramping your biker style? Never fear! Instead, you can buy non-leather motorcycle gear. Or, if your tastes run to BDSM, veganerotica has all the non-leather bondage gear your heart could desire. Which leaves me wondering: is there such a thing as a cruelty-free flogger?
