Eval. of Sci. Am., Pop. Sci., and Disc.
Posted Jul 24, 2003
Ever notice a bit of bias in such magazines as Scientific American, Popular Sciene, and Discover. Sci. Am. is the worst. If anyone else has seen this, please write here and tell me about it! I want to know if I'm delusional or if it really exists.

Well, summer's here...
Posted Jul 6, 2003
Guess what? Summer is here and once again it's time to address the fact that most piano players have to face in the summer. You know that cheap piano bench you bought with the cheesy plastic seat, well you're about to regret that decision. All summer long, never fail, your less attractive end (or more attractive depending on what your face looks like) will become melted and thoroughly stuck tight to that cheap plastic bench. SO THE JOKE'S ON YOU CHEAPSKATE!!!
(I happen to be a Cheapskate, Class A, ranking 3rd out of the 1,987,446,342 members of The Cheapskates of the Milky Way.)
By the way, while I'm on the subject, you'll find that less and less your humidifier for that large chunk of wood and plastic that probably is ten years out of tune will need filling. This is due to the fact that the little man that has extrememly absorbant skin and sucks dry your piano starts to sweat, reversing the process to the point that you may need a sump pump for that noise-maker of yours.
But seriously, never go to the point of ripping off your own skin to dislodge from the bench. Winter is only 6 months away!

Once apon a time, there were prunes...
Posted Dec 17, 2002
AND THEN THERE WERE PRUNES
LET THERE BE PRUNES! LET IT BE SUNG TO THE HILLSIDES THAT THERE MUST EXIST SOMEWHERE ON THIS PLANET, A NATURAL LAXATIVE, TO RELIEVE PEOPLE OF THEIR BURNING NEED TO GO, WITHOUT THAT DISGUSTING ORANGE FLAVOR OF CERTAIN ORANGE COLORED PRODUCTS!
And so there were prunes. No body knows what strange fluke of evolution created the wonder fruit, but evolution sure does work in wonderous ways doesn't it now?
On to the real subject (prunes...please.)
WHEN DID WE GET LESS DUMB?
Evolution is a very hotly debated subject, ranking up there with abortion, immigration, and a suitable curfew. If humans were really created the way certain religions claim, then why until recently did they consider bathing a nasty habit? If humans were supposed to have been given tons of knowlege, then why were they so incredibly stupid for the longest time (and for all we know, now even)? Why do so many people disagree even though there is evidence sitting right in front of them, so close that if it were still alive, it probably would make an attempt at eating them? And why do I ask so many unanswered questions, isn't it annoying? Evolution is a gradual thing, caused by luck, chance, fate, pick an adjective. Some mutation could occur in one area a species is living in, but not in another place the same species is living in, and millions of years later they are totally unrelated.
I need some feedback on this piece before I go any further with it.... HELP! THE PRUNES HAVE STOLEN MY RIGHTLY EVOLVED KNOWLEGE AND I NEED SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO EXPAND THIS LOUSEY PIECE OF WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well well well.....
Posted Oct 13, 2002
Well well well, we all live in this wonderous place in the bubble-like atmosphere of the planet Earth. Not always the cleanest most friendly place but what can you do?
Anywho, what was i going on about,,
Oh yes, saran wrap, what's with that stuff anyway?
Why is it so willing to stick to itself but nothing else as it so claims to do? A bit unnerving if I do say so myself. Quite an interesting pheonomenon wouldn't you say, well, WOULDN'T YOU? I suppose you aren't interested in the laws of physics of saran wrap (which completely defy those of Earth).. That's okay, i just needed some writing medium, any ideas?

What Disturbs You?
Posted Jul 23, 2002
I want to write an entry on what disturbs people immensly, but I need some feedback on this....
Nothing really inappropriate
Nothing embarassing to others
Nothing that will make anybody mad
or cry
But also,
Make sure it's a bit exciting, not like,
My pet fish disturbs me 
, describe why!
Do monsters and vampires disturb you?
Maybe clowns disturb you? 
Or that creepy doctor that always gives you a physical? 
Tell me about it and I'll write it up, you can remain unknown if you wish, or your nickname can be included, your choice. Nobody's perfect 
, everyone has something that scares or disturbs them, let it all out! No worries, no worries at all!
