Akash: Half of the world. What is it ? The world is divided up into seas and continents. There are hot places and there are cold. There are many religions in the world. There are animals, insects, fish etc. There are gases, liquids, metals etc. There is man and woman. There is good and bad. There is happy and sad. The answer is non of the above or even closely related to the above. need help with this one and ASAP....

sushiesque: currently, the name of my font is "this is a test". I've only done I, J, and H (in that order), and it gets bigger and gayer with each successive letter.

Quise: Ok I have a riddle for you all. "my presence is needed, even though many do like like me around, I can create life and sound but also cause fear..... what am I?

Jack Morava: You might like `The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon (nowhere near as good as Valis, tho). There's a huge wiki page about it... (:+{)}

Field trip

Gwynne

Back in November, Gwynne made friends with the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art and I carried around a new camera with which I was just barely acquainted. The result is up on Babble.com now.

The Carle Museum is fun even if you don't like museums, or even children's literature—in addition to all that caterpillar memorabilia, the gift shop/bookstore's got a not-actually-age-appropriate corner full of charming discoveries. (I brought home a nineteenth-century board game, Paths of Life by J.H. Cotterell, in a facsimile edition published by the Toronto Public Library. Players move about a map of an allegorical country littered with place-names like "Fibbing Thicket", "Prudent Slope", "Gluttonsbury", and—the ultimate destination of losing players—"Bottomless Pit".) And any excuse for Zipcarring out to western Massachusetts will do.

Above: Gwynne, about to be consumed by the largest, hungriest caterpillar.
