Publisher's Note:
Against my best money-making advice, staff members persist in occasional outbursts of what they refer to as "p----y" (even they can't call it by name). I keep telling them: The path to penury is paved with p----y. Do they listen? No. All I can do is alert the unwary reader with the little death's head, which in this context means: Warning! P----y Ahead!

The Truth About Magellan's Log
In which an unnamed staffer comes pretty close to spilling the beans.

The Fly-bottle and I
Douglas Milburn, soberly and with dangerously little irony, re-visits his distant home on the metaphyical range, where words end. Sort of.

21st Century Sexuality:

Promontories
Anna Marie Quave lets loose with some pixelized ink splatters re, well, thee and, alas, me.

Suddenly, Next Summer
Cassandra, our prophetess doomed to make accurate predictions that are never heeded, returns for a few words re the post-Bush era.

The Persimmon Tree
Our publisher keeps warning us about wasting time and bandwidth with fiction and p----y, but here goes science editor Rean Rhyne with a short story yet.

W H E R E
Katherine Ozanic makes a valiant effort at posing a few important questions but by the eighth line, she has a bit of trouble.
