themselves.

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.

IYOOB
In all modesty but overcome by a sense of patriotic gratitude, this publication proposes a new method for dating events
since it is clear we are living in an age of unprecedented governmental, religious, and
financial enlightenment. You may think this is 2005 but it's actually YOOB 59.

Two Cultural Icons Reconsidered
Fearless book editor Sylvia Sikeston perhaps incautiously attempts to put Ms. Jane Austen in proper
perspective...

We'd Thought of First
You have to get up pretty early to stay ahead of the old creativity
curve. We offer ten images, ranging from the clever to
the tasteless, as proof. You have been warned.

Hot Links 94
The best of the best sites from our many hours wasted wandering the Internet, such as, for example, oh, the Phallic Logo Site, or
the site revealing the secret behind Tiger's golf success...

Herds & Stories
In which Sylvia Thodhiss elucidates our pride in unthinking, lock-step behavior
(anyone for conformity?) and looks for a way out
(anyone for non-conformity?).

Marijuana Use in the United States
The latest map from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), along with our suggested corrections.

Zen Centerfold 94
Once again, it's off into the graphic wilds with another titillating picture for that tiny
minority of our many readers who suffer from metaphysical prurience.
