Staff Biographies

"Giving well is the best revenge."

Here There Be Gargoyles
Our founder muses on what he's wrought after 51 issues.

Genesis Revisited
New staffer Pudge Dimmitt opens the Bible to Book 1, page 1, and gets in trouble right away.

Reader Queries
A sampling of problems which some members of our global audience seem sure we can help them out with.

Double Double
Whammy Whammy
9-11 was pretty bad. Pedro Bofecillos dredges up an old 20th century event, at the time a triumph, which he thinks in the long-run will prove just as traumatic.

We can always use a few shots at the trite and the simple, but the mean and the dangerous are more deserving.
                   --Molly Ivins.

Yea & Nay
We assign two Alice Munro virgins her latest short story collection and then almost have to bring in the literary police to quell the resulting mini-riot.

Magellan's Crib Sheet
Feeling bad about 8th-graders looking for geography report help and winding up HERE, we provide just what they need.

Cyber-haiku
Our expanded version of the bit of communal humor currently making the email rounds.

Our music critic writhes and tries to understand why he paid $20 for a CD of the String Trio by Arnold Schoenberg. His writhing and trying lead to some success.

What Is Texas
Mysticism Anyway?
Editor Doc Cuddy answers this burning question that's been bothering a lot of readers who read stuff above the title on pages like this.

Stirrings of Empire
Try matching Arthur Sullivan's egregious sentiment and George W. Bush's egregious sentience, and this is what you get. (with midi)

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the funniest book of the 21st century (so far).

50 Plus
We sent our camera guy out and said, "Look up." This is what happened. With midi.

The Call of the Sacristy
In Chad Report No. 14, Nfubi Kwaadutu thinks about responding to in Internet religious scam and adding the title "Street Bishop" to his jouranlistic resume.

Holy Halls
A 200-year-old song of love and tolerance, and a 70-million-year-old landscape. What could be better in times like these, or any other for that matter?

We've done weird. We've done really weird. Now comes "Roswell: The Titanium Notebooks," artifacts allegedly found in the desert outside (sigh) Roswell. Judge for yourself.

Folie à deux milliarde
Not many publications boast a theologian on their staff. Fewer still a theologian who plays footsie with misanthropy. Reppy Duart, D.D., is not happy with what a prince of the Church had to say about why God let 9-11 happen to America.

The Games of Childhood
Unknown poet Marcella T. Perry casts casts 18 lines over our cyber-transom and lo, gets a global audience. Welcome to the world, Marcella. (With midi.)

Afghanistan is the son of Vietnam, a half-brother for Desert Storm, the grandson of Korea. America's first three major appearances in its unsought and still unaccustomed role of global superpower show a strong family resemblance. 'History,' as Mark Twain noted, 'doesn't often repeat itself; but it rhymes.'
  --Murray Sayle, London Review of Books.

Wittgenstein Clarified, Finally
Two modest sentences in reponse to the hundreds of letters that continue to pour in, begging our assistance in understanding the great Austrian thinker.
