MONKEY VS. SEA MONKEY: WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
When I was in grade school, my best friend had a monkey. I don't know what kind it was, but I can tell you this: My friend's parents had a Kung-Fu outfit for this monkey. His name was Bentley and he was kept is a large cage in the basement. When you got too close to his cage, he would grab at your shirt and tear it. But, if you were my friend's dad, he would let you get into the cage and wrestle him. Bentley had some scrap in him, that's for sure...

A MISPLACED CHAPTER FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS
And lo, it came to be that God was sitting around in his Lazy-God recliner one quiet millennium, and He sayeth unto His Godlike self: "God is bored and needs some entertainment."

INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM THERMO-EPISTEMOLOGY
This manuscript describes some of our recent findings in the exciting new field of quantum thermo-epistemology, a branch of implausibility theory dealing with fundamental questions such as:
* Why does toast always land butter-side down?
* Why do cars break down only when you need to go somewhere in an emergency?
* Why do banks only lend money to people who don't need it?
We have found, surprisingly enough, that these vexing questions do in fact have a scientific answer, and have developed the beginnings of a theory, which is briefly described here...
