I'm scared

I've suspected for quite some time that I should've lived in the 12th or 13th century instead of now. I'm sure it's true after reading this.

Aw, c'mon that rules! Now if I get Mad Cow I can at least fly a plane!!!

Didn't I read in Harpers a few months back that a monkey was using a joystick attached to his brain to fly virtual reality machines?

That stuff freaks me out. I keep thinking of Dune and weird bodiless entities that live in tanks of colored gas and navigate hyperspace.

Probably, Harpers puts great stuff in the back page.

Wait did the monkey have a joystick sticking out of his skull?

I can't remember. It might have been wired into his brain so he could control it with brain waves instead of with his hand. Was on the back page--where they put the most amazing stuff in little sentences and send me off into strange dream states.

Scientists in Greenland discovered that frogs mate in another dimension. Coca Cola was found to be inhabited by karmic waves originating in an attic in a small Pennsylvania town. Cheese causes q-variant Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in fish.
