Scientologists beware. The Church of Virus is a new memetically-engineered atheistic religion that is even now hungrily sweeping up all your best prospects for conversion.

God is the provider of all good things to His followers: salvation for the lost, comfort for the sorrowful, healing for the wounded . . . and gold tooth fillings for Christians with bad oral hygiene.

Many years before The Blair Witch Project, I got scared of going into the woods by the wonderfully moody and weird David Lynch series Twin Peaks. Check out The Black Lodge to navigate through a webbed-up doppelganger of the Black Lodge. Or, perhaps for a bit of real-world creepiness, take a look at this page, this page, this page, or this page, and ask yourselves: "Am I missing something?"

From 1915 until 1944, comic strip genius George Herriman created Krazy Kat, one of the most influential strips ever. Often imitated and never equalled, Herriman's inimitable graphical style and sensitivity to language still delight us today.

I love urban decay. Not the make-up, but entropy taking hold of the hard labors of mankind. A great city for this is Detroit, where the city streets are as wide as freeways, and only about 1,000 people still live there. Or something. The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit has fine photography of buildings on a slow ride into dust, and others caught in the act of imploding.

Some dentists suggest that daily tongue cleaning can help prevent gum disease, tooth decay and reduce bad breath by sweeping away bacteria colonies that live in your mouth. While most of us would consider a $2 toothbrush to be an adequate tool for this task, an ad for the electric vibrating tongue cleaner confirmed my suspicion that there's no limit to the kinds of needless electronic gew-gaws rich people will buy.

And though you be done to death, what then? / If you battled the best you could; / If you played your part in the world of men, / Why, the Critic will call it good. / Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce, / And whether he's slow or spry, / It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts, / But only, how did you die? --From How Did You Die? by Edmund Vance Cooke

Resampling is a Monte Carlo approach to statistics using repeated simulations that is purported to be a much easier pedagogical approach to statistics than the traditional formula-based methods of teaching it. If you tried to learn statistics before and were stumped, perhaps it's time to give it another shot.

The Advertising Council has been producing high-quality propaganda for half a century. Today they have almost 40 active campaigns designed to manipulate America's conscience and increasing its social awareness. The memetic onslaught has overflowed on-line with all sorts of ad banners and video clips.
