Being a Fool for God.

by

by Robert Markland Smith. In memory of my friend Martha Sheppard. This is a true story. Honest. Cross my heart. My wife goes to Catholic mass once a week, even though she is a Protestant. She is very afraid of being found out. So she always keeps a low profile in church, lest she attract […]

First Words.

by

by Danbert Nobacon. Once upon around one or two hundred thousand years ago, for the first time in human history an infant boy looked at his momma and raising his arms above his head said what sounded like “Up!” It may not have been the very first word, but it was one of them. Mother […]

GROWL AND COO.

by

by David D. Horowitz.   The term “onomatopoeia” evoked giggling in the grade-school classroom where our teacher first wrote it on the blackboard.

Philo’s Magnet Motor.

by

by Paul Rogov. It defied the laws of physics. The Black Operations of the National Security Agency tried to corral him. Journalists, interested in renewable energy, tried to pick his brain. You-Tube watchers—so drawn to the intrigues surrounding what seemed to be a simple experiment—tried to replicate it and claim victory for themselves. Philo, a […]
