Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Want to train a dolphin?

The Shedd's Trainer for a Day program is a hands-on answer to those who wonder what it's like to be a trainer. It starts with a lot of fish scrubbing.

In no time we had watched a 10-minute video that gave us the basics of marine-mammal training. Not unlike child rearing, training is based on positive reinforcement. Unlike child rearing, however, a whistle and rewards of dead fish are involved.

I do not like Alannis blondish.

It looks wrong on her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Drew Barrymore just looks like some girl I'd know. I kind of like that, but still.
