| Saturday Oct 23, 1999 | The Fight Club website has
two trailers made by Fight Club director David
Fincher.
Unfortunately, 20th Century Fox refused
to air these very bizzare and funny trailers:
one
with Brad Pitt and one
with Ed Norton. For the actual trailer
the studio used, go to the unofficial site.

| If the
Sony Aibo's $2000
price tag is too steep,
you can always make your own robotic pet. Lego Mindstorms are, of course, an
option but for the more adventurous there is
Solarbotics, which
sells
kits and parts
for various simple but elegant robots.
Craig Maynard also sells kits
for his "Cybug" robots, including solar powered bugs that can stalk each
other and feed from a
cyborg sunflower
powerplant.
Make sure to check out Robohoo, a
good general source for robotics information, books and companies.

Accept no substitutes. to Wackos by mpc |
| If you are like me, maybe you wonder exactly when works pass into the public domain. This has all been changed as a result of Sonny Bono or someone using his name, because now that coporations own a lot of works, instead of individuals, and corporations live forever, the list probably won't get much longer. to Law by birgitte |
| During test detonations of atomic bombs during WWII, scientists encountered the electronics-destroying effects of EMPs (Electro Magnetic Pulse). Soon, it was discovered that EMPs can be generated without nuclear weapons. Everything you memepool-reading terrorists ever wanted to know about flux-compression generators and E-bombs can be found here. to Warfare by pjammer |

| Bob
Burden is perhaps the only surrealist
cartoonist. His Mystermen
comics inspired the
Ben Stiller movie, but
he is best known in the comics world for his Flaming
Carrot Comics.
The Flaming Carrot
is a Zen-idiot superhero, lover of life, and he frequently says, "Ut!"
He even has his own action
figure.

| One of the uncontestable advantages of living in the U.S. is the vast amount of preserved
parkland. Sorting it out can be a little tricky though. Of course there is
the National Park Service, but often overlooked are the
lands controlled by the
Bureau of Land Management,
the Army Corps of Engineers,
and the Forestry Service. Fortunately the government created Recreation.Gov
a searchable database of recreation on federal lands. Once you know where you're going, you can
reserve yourself a campsite online with the National Recreation Reservation Service. to Travel by akk |
