Doomsday Metal
Whaddayouknow! A Danish survey showed that experts are used in papers and press more than ever before, and that they are pathologically S U B J E C T I V E.I will, only partly, be THAT honest
Gross Jar
Up until now, we've been taking sort of a limited approach to the Gross Jar. Each month we spend all of 20 minutes coming up with one thing to add, then pat our backs red for being such job-well-done doers. Last time we promised to step up the rigor...
