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?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hey, did Elijah Wood take you out for great Mexican food?

Edit: And did a street lamp drag you to a convention in Toronto?

Ack. I'm not sure if I just gave a student a useful tip for dealing with girls or made for an awkward situation. Crap. I think I liked it better when I only had boys.

New (to me) Yiddishm "From Hunger" meaning "out of desperation". Anyone heard this before?
