| Over 2,200 years ago, Greek playwright Aristophanes
wrote a comedy titled Lysistrata,
which told the story of women from warring states who ended the Peloponnesian
War. How did they do it, you ask? Until the men stopped fighting and sheathed
their swords, the women wouldn't, uh, "sheathe their swords," if you
know what I mean. On March 3, the Lysistrata
Project will mount (at the time of this posting) 581
readings of Lysistrata in 38 countries in protest of the potential
War in Iraq, and with the hope of catching the ear of those who believe, "Democracy
is a beautiful thing." to Politics by fatherdan |
| During his career as an artist,
Donald Evans
created hundreds of hand-painted
postage stamps
for imaginary countries.
The influence of his works can clearly been seen in
the painted and collage-work
envelopes
and stamps from
the
Griffin and Sabine books,
or the haunting surrealism of the
Codex Seraphinianus.

The Ticketstub project is a place where you can upload scanned images of your saved stubs, and tell a story about that night, that concert, that movie, what happened on that date; basically, ask youself why you saved the stub as a reminder." to Entertainment by yoyology |

| Although
bitterness about
Valentine's day has become as cliched as
celebrating it the
Hallmark way,
Blackheartsparty
strikes just the right mix of hate and humor.
Take the
personality tests,
read the reviews of restaurants to take people you only
want to fuck
and revel in their (and your own) misanthropy.

| How many times have you said, "What this event really needs is doves!" For instance, the White Dove Company can make your wedding or memorial service that much more poetically poignant with their snowy-white trained doves. Satisfied customers abound! Yes, they can find their own way back home (they're pigeons, after all). Imagine the possibilities! And if you don't live in England you can always get your doves in Maui. to Pets by fatherdan |

| Last year's passage of H.R. 3162, a.k.a. the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001," has civil libertarians up in arms, but one portion of the bill specifically targets libraries. Recent false alarms notwithstanding, it's clear that the FBI is using the act to obtain information on library employees and patrons. to Libraries by yoyology |
