Moms everywhere will be even more confused, and then more postcards will fly, creating some kind of time/space paradox.
Seriously, what is it with the Austrians and their secret underground lairs? It’s really fucking creepy.
I was an exchange student in Austria for a year after high school. My first reaction here was RACIST!, but then I thought back on the houses of the families I stayed with while there: One had a basement with a pool, a sauna, and what was basically a private tavern (for gemutlichkeit, you know); one had a basement where the father would go to practice his isometric exericises, alone, after work; and one had a basement devoted to the display of A) shotguns and B) odd, small animal trophy skulls mounted on the walls — like skulls where the baby deer maybe had three antlers. So, yes, really fucking creepy.

I like this site, and it makes me wonder why more people haven’t started ambitious web magazines. I love blogs, but there’s something very different about a publication. We’ve got Salon, Slate, Nerve (?), and the Morning News. What are other good ones? And who’s starting something new?
One of the really great things about my job is getting to wrestle with the really big questions.
