My Interests |

| the kind of stuff you can chat about at Cocktail Parties... Playing the mental_floss trivia game. (It's fun and quirky. And you'll walk away a genius.) Counting days til the new issues comes out? Check out our 2007 calendar! |

I'd like to meet:Einstein, Stephen Hawking (I.M. us already!), Aristotle, most of the Cats that Bill and Ted brought back (including Napoleon), Tesla, Dorothy Parker, Alexander the Great, Martin Luther, Martin Luther King, Steve Martin, Mark Twain, Margaret Mead, Roald Dahl & Quentin Blake, Julia Child- mainly for her British spy stories but also for her sandwiches, Bob Dylan, Boss Tweed and the Entire Tammany Hall Gang, Abe Lincoln, Abe Simpson, Jim Henson, Langston Hughes, and lots more.More realistically: We'd be thrilled to hang out with nerds & knowledge junkies, writers and readers, trivia buffs, closet dorks, die-hard magazine fans (any magazine, not just ours) and lovers of really bad jokes (any bad jokes, not just ours). ...... |
|
Music:A little bit of everything... you know, Russian Folk Dance, Funeral Dirges, the usual.Lately, we've been getting into a lot of School House Rock, though. The Puffy remix of "Conjunction Junction, What's your Function?" is definitely worth the download. ...... |
|
Movies:Hmmm... we love a good flick now and again, but most of our allowance goes to supporting our reading habit....... |
|
Television:Oprah, Oprah, Oprah! In fact, the only way we could love Oprah more is a) if she gave us a car, or b) called us on her show to talk about the magazine. Oprah, if you happen to be reading this, and are struggling to decide between the two, please (b) call us on your show to talk about the magazine.JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE ALSO LOVE: Ellen, The Daily Show, CNN, Regis and Kelly, The Today Show, Car Talk, Iron Chef (Japan) and most other places that haven't had us on yet. We draw the line at Geraldo, though. ...... |
|
Heroes:Our moms. At least one of our dads. Oh, and Albert Einstein, of course! |
