Nine out of 10 people hate statistics? Having an orgasm produces a natural antihistamine? Evian spelled backward is naive? You do now.

Fluxray Facelift

You are a special person. You are kind, generous, and discriminating. And -- let's be honest here -- you are good looking. That's why we at Fluxray Amalagamated Industries have decided to give ourselves a facelift. You deserve nothing less. Of course, right now the scarring can be rather jarring. It may be this way for another day. Some features aren't in the right places. Others haven't been augmented. Don't worry. You'll see great improvements shortly. And we know you'll like what we see. (After all, we like what we see in you.)

"In a time of national crisis, words are key to the presidency. Too many and people tune out; too few and they think he is hiding. The president knew he had not yet said the right things. The president needed to reassure Americans while conveying a message of resolve to the world." How did Bush do it? The NY Times Sunday Magazine offers a fascinating etymology of his 2,998-word address to the joint houses of Congress.

eGAD

Why have generalized anxiety disorder or GAD when Paxil can give you something to worry about.

"A common side effect is nausea.... Other side effects may include decreased appetite, dry mouth, sweating, constipation, sexual side effects, yawn, tremor or sleepiness." Gotta feel for pharmaceutical copy writers."
