http://societyofburnedlives.blogspot.com/2011/12/excursus-pipe-as-rhetorical-artifact.html

Friday, December 23, 2011. Excursus: The Pipe as Rhetorical Artifact. Perhaps you may have noticed that smoking pipes are cropping up more lately in film and public consciousness.

The Three Pipe Problem. And Lord of the Rings. Tie their ident...

Thursday, May 22, 2008. Amy Winehouse Tormented by Ghost - WTF? Is reporting that Amy Winehouse has fled her home because " a poltergeist – who she has named Henry – is haunting her North London flat and is trying to harm her" [1]. Apparently, the nefarious apparition has repeatedly attacked her leaving scratches on her arms. She refuses to return to her home until someone can preform an exorcism and relieve the tormented singer of these pernicious phantoms. Shame on you, Casper! Monday, May 19, 2008.
