DISCLAIMER: These are not essays on scientific topics, any more than "Popular Mechanics" is a scientific magazine. We make "Mad Magazine" look like "The Sciences." We engage in rampant guesswork, wild speculation, and pure fabrication for the entertainment of our readers. Sure, everything here is "inspired by actual facts," but so was last week's made-for-TV movie. If you don't have a sense of humor, you're not allowed to read this text. So lighten up.
