"Giving well is the best revenge."

Bombs Away!
Do you have alarmist tendencies? How about fantasies of impending disaster? Our in-house prophet Cassandra is the one for you.

And Still
More Jokes
Dear Reader, we hope you appreciate the hours which the staff of Magellan's Log spend toiling over a hot Internet to cull out the 99.99% of really awful jokes in order to bring you only the very best of highly offensive, extremely un-PC funny stuff.

Attn: Horny Christians
Reppy Duart, our resident theologian, has taken another look at the big dysfunctional family in the sky (Father, Son, Mary, et al.) and asks the question even hard-core atheists would like to know the answer to: Is God a Necrophile? Note: This is x-rated verbal material.

To the teacher;
Re: Skipping 21^st century
Due to conditions outlined below, I, Lulu Dilworth, wish to respectfully request an excused absence for the period 2000-2099, or any portion thereof it may be my foreordained lot to experience... Messages in a Bottle

Tricky
Questions
This is actually Magellan's Log's Brainteasers 5, but with a difference. Every one of these little puzzlers involves a trick.

Go east,
young man
So our Nicholas Momurray did. Weighed anchor and went to China, with a Chinese friend who took him places tourists don't usually get to. Momurray came back with this piece about a China we haven't seen in any other media report. Navigational Aids

2001
CONTEST!
Does January 12, 1992 mean anything special to you? (Hint: It's somebody's birthday.) Well, it means so much to us here at Magellan's Log that we're having a contest to celebrate. Click here for details.

Think you're pretty hip, huh? Culture ain't what it used to be and covers a lot more territory now. Match culture wits with our quiz master and his newest set of questions. No. 772.

Smaller
Than Life
How about those 1,000 years, huh? And how about that century! Robert Lonoke takes out after the old 20th with earth-scorching results. "Like shooting fish in a barrel," he says. The 75 Years' War.

The cute,
the cuddly,
the damned

Magellan's Log is pleased to have acquired the exclusive Internet rights to Filicide: The Mythic Reality of Childhood, a book which has shocked two continents and has begun to subvert a third. Vrana Hempstead's startling analysis of how children are treated--and mistreated--in the great stories of western civilization, from myths to movies, is not an easy read, nor a safe one. Recommended only for the freest of freethinkers. For those who are ready, Filicide: The Mythic Reality of Childhood is an eye-opener and possibly a life-changer. For a bit of background, check our interview with the author.

Traffic shrink eavesdrops on truckers
You wouldn't believe the stuff that comes in over our  transom these days.  Occasionally something so good, or so weird, appears in the slushpile that we feel compelled to pass a sample along. Meet Hardy Metcalf, Ph.D., America's first (and only) therapist to the traffic-challenged.

Worrywarts & curious cats
Piongo Pisgah takes out after a couple of the really Big Questions and comes up smiling. Well, half-smiling anyway. But that's what metaphysicians are for, isn't? To master the art of sitting on fences that aren't even there.

Bright
Eyes
50 years before the Impressionists, 150 years before the Abstract Impressionists, J.M.W. Turner filled canvases with light, as no one had done before, and few have done since. A little son et lumière show for your retinal delight. With music.

Cartography
Revisited
A new thought on an old subject.

Skiatatuk speaks!
Queries e-mailed to us by metaphysically challenged readers are submitted straightaway to our in-house channeler and otherworldly gofer, Piongo Pisgah. Skiatatuk, Piongo's alleged guide, responds with a certain bite you don't find in your garden-variety spirits. Beware: Skiatatuk says, for reasons he doesn't fully understand, he spent a number of lives as a sailor. When Skiatatuk speaks, it's not exactly in the squishy New-Age-y, we're-all-in-this-together patois one encounters from your average Barnes & Noble discarnate. Ask the Medium

Isthmus Insider
tells almost all
Zone habitué Ginkgo Balboa writes us about burning Central American issues (or is it Central Burning American issues?). Our Man in Panama

Horse Latitudes
Amusements to pass the time while becalmed: brainteasers, puzzles, conundra, from the deceptively simple to the simply daunting. Some require horse sense, some require I.Q., and some an ability nobody's named. Sleight of Mind

No IPO? No advertising? How do we do it? We sometimes wonder too. Quality tells (or so we hope). For now, check our gift shop for Magellan's Log mementos.
