Me, I take some comfort that Tom Lehrer is still alive. Tom Paxton too. I'd love them to pen some music for HK's funeral.

Book Banning

When was the last time a fiction bestseller was published that didn't include "a sex act"? Heck, even in Moby Dick there were some pretty dodgy scenes.

I like the term "Luciferian". Is it akin to "Rastafarian"? Just wasted 15 minutes looking for the reason Rastafarianism is called Rastafarianism. It's never occurred to me to wonder before. Apparently Ras Tafari was the pre-coronation name of Emperor Haile Selassie I, so now you...

It never occurred to me that the number of pages would be written on the cover of the folder, but it seems obvious now you suggest it. I assume pages and pages are missing.

I wonder if it overlaps with the use of tally sticks in medieval times to record debts. I heard about this on a program called "50 Things That Made the Modern Economy" The stick would contain a record of the debt, for example: "£9 4s 4d from Fulk Basset for the farm of Wycombe". ...
