Intended as a complete contrast to my encounters with muppets, I have chosen to record whenever I encounter evidence of extraordinary thinking. Any subject where I feel I have the qualifications to judge something as extraordinary may be represented. In some cases, I may violate copyright for the better good of the world. If I can reprint a small snippet of a book or magazine here, and make someone else buy that book, or believe in that idea, or simply bring a smile to someone's face, I consider the risk of lawsuits acceptable. I will of course entertain requests from publishers, but not without a last attempt at letting me publish the material in question.
If you are looking for more worthwhile material than I have intended to mirror, please visit my list of highly recommended web sites. All of the following are locally mirrored snippets with no subsequent content changes or mirroring overhead.
