With your back to the wall
Feet to the fire
Head in a vise
And tit in a wringer
You frantically search
For the way out
And the door back.

Poem: [with your back to the wall]
With your back to the wall
Feet to the fire
Head in a vise
And tit in a wringer
You frantically search
For the way out
And the door back.

King Tut's face revealed (3 photos)
Dr. Zahi Hawass, in the mummy's glass case, speaks to the media.
"The face of the golden boy is amazing. It has magic and it has
mystery," he said.
An AP story by Anna Johnson, reports on the unveiling of King Tut: "King Tut's buck-toothed face was unveiled Sunday for the first time in public - more than 3,000 years after the youngest and most famous pharaoh to rule ancient Egypt was shrouded in linen and buried in his golden underground tomb."
King Tut
"Archeologists carefully lifted the fragile mummy out of a quartz sarcophagus decorated with stone-carved protective goddesses, momentarily pulling aside a beige covering to reveal a leathery black body."
The 19-year-old king, whose life and death has fascinated people ever since his body was discovered, was moved to a climate-controlled case to preserve it.

William Shakespeare: All the world's a stage
Just because it's good for your soul to read Willy The Shake every once in a while:
[All the World's a Stage]
by William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Dennis Kucinich questions The President's mental health and hours later later admits seeing a UFO
Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich questioned President Bush's mental health yesterday because of comments he made about a nuclear Iran causing World War III."...we have to start asking questions about his mental health," Kucinich, an Ohio congressman, said in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board on Tuesday. "There's something wrong. He does not seem to understand his words have real impact."
Later that night, during the Democratic Presidential debate, Representative Kucinich admitted he had seen a UFO (see yesterday's All This Is That).

Jenkem: better living through chemistry
Jenkem is an inhaled gas which reportedly causes dissociation and hallucinations. It is made from fermented sewage (most frequently, the user's own urine and feces). Jenkem was first reported on in 1995 on the Inter Press Service Wire, and the BBS ran a news report in 1999. Recently, Jenkem has been sweeping American high schools. It is apparently still popular in various places in Africa.The Wikipedia says: "According to Fountain of Hope, a non-profit organization, Jenkem is used by street children in Lusaka, Zambia as a substitute for ordinary inhalants such as glue or petrol. The news reports give no information as to how or when the children first began manufacturing jenkem."
Jenkem is made by placing urine and feces in a plastic bottle and allowing it to ferment in the sun for days. You then sniff the resulting gas. If you don't believe me, do a GIS. I did, and got 20,000 Jenkem hits...
You do have to wonder, though, about outhouses and honey-pots. Does Jenkem explain hillbillies? I remember being at a Willie Nelson-Old 97's show this summer, with the hundreds of porta-potties sitting in the 100 degree sun. No wonder the lines were so long! Was everyone just jenkem-ing down?
In the late sixties, I remember people getting high--or attempting to--on various ordinary, and less revolting substances like glue, gas, and other inhalants of course, nutmeg, morning glory seeds, and banana peels (remember the Donovan song Mellow Yellow?):
"Electrical bananaJenkem. Well, kids, at least it's still legal, unlike Cannabis (THC), Barbiturates, atropine, scopolamine, nutmeg, nitrous oxide, phencyclidine (PCP), Opium (Papaver somniferum), codeine, fentanyl (Duragesic®, Actiq®), heroin, hydrocodone (Vicodin®), hydromorphone (Dilaudid®), meperidine (Demerol®), methadone (Methadose®), morphine, oxycodone (OxyContin®, Roxicodone®), oxymorphone (Opana®), dextropropoxyphene (Darvocet®), ephedrine, MDMA (ecstasy). MDEA, MDA , mescaline (found in peyote and other cacti), cocaine, dextroamphetamine (crank), methamphetamine, dimethyltryptamine (DMT, found in numerous plants), psilocybin and psilocin (found in psychedelic mushrooms), ergine, LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide), amyl nitrites (poppers), chloroform, and quaalude.
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase"
