    100 Best Non Fiction

    I must be older than I thought. I can't believe I've read six of those suckers, a couple of them, many years ago. Furthest back is The Autobiography of Malcolm X, then later, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek; also read A Room of One's Own, Operating Instructions, and In Cold Blood. Oh, almost forgot...

He keeps linking off physics, chemistry, linguistic, and religious articles and ends up with freakin oddball headings. Great though. I...

    Nothing

    I would like an infinity of nothing. Should I take that back and say that there's nothing I want an infinity of, since my entire life would be wiped out by being granted an entire infinity of nothing. Same thing if I got and infinity of something - so long to everything else! This is spookily...

    Annoying Characters

    I keep telling that to my family whenever we see an episode of King of the Hill and everyone expects that Peggy Hill will suddenly be witty and sophisticated or that she'll do something right- she's the foil, people! Dolores Umbridge, I love to hate you.

    Help Wanted for an Olympic Challenge

    Shoot, I've missed keeping up with this fab thread! I may have missed something, what with this being seven pages and all, but I haven't seen Mexico represented - do they participate in Winter Olympics? Anyhow, my contribution would be from, technically, a Mexican-American, Victor Villasenor...
