Strong Enough For a Man, but Made For a Woman
1999-06-03 15:48:28
Apparently, women view the world in a different way then men and so they need their very own "special" Y2K page.
This site seems to enjoy scaring the Crap out of woman, hoping I guess that they panic along side their menfolk when the clock strikes 1/1/2000 00:00. The author likes to worry about a lot of things - just about everything, in fact. She's even got "The Busy Woman's Y2K Home Preparedness Checklist". If your house isn't stocked with barley, Spam, 3 kinds of salt, 8 types of sweeteners, powdered eggs, wine in a box, dishpans, dust cloths, bubble bath, air freshener and a huge assortment of makeup just to name a few items... then well, my dear, you just aren't ready for Y2K and you're a bad wife and mother to boot.
Naturally, because this is the post-scarcity society (pre-Y2K collapse) this site is really about selling. In this case it is just a big ad for the book - Y2K for Women: How to Protect Your Home and Family in the Coming Crisis. Basically, if the page hasn't frightened you enough, you should buy the book. I'm thinking that the author is probably holed up somewhere in deep, dark Montana, armed to the teeth and has made the publisher promise to prepay all her royalties for the book before mid-Dec... in gold, of course.

WKRP in Cincinnati aired from 1978 through 1982. Howard Hesseman played Dr. Johnny Fever, a DJ from Los Angeles who was fired from his previous job for saying the word "booger" on the air. In the show Hesseman would do some dialogue, introduce a song, and start the song. You'd hear a few notes, but never the whole song. (More...)

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
