by Antone Roundy
13 Apr 2004 at 4:45pm
The electronic crystal ball has shown me two words: “Douglas Ankara”. I see a wedding. I see two cities. I see the Orient. I see Spain. The future becomes clear. On March 28, 1920, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford married. Ten years later the names of Constantinople and Angora were changed to Istanbul and Ankara. Eight [...]
- “Each morsel”: the straw that saved the camel’s back
by Antone Roundy
2 Apr 2004 at 3:39pm
The electronic crystal ball has shown me two words: “each morsel”. I see little fish. I see bigger fisher. I see even bigger fishermen. The future becomes clear. During the past fishing season, striped bass provided good fishing off the Connecticut coast until bluefish began consuming too much of the local baitfish. Without the small fish, [...]
- “Tint apart”: the return of x-ray specs?
by Antone Roundy
1 Apr 2004 at 6:13pm
The electronic crystal ball has shown me two words: “tint apart”. I see brows. I see eyes. I see deep into the soul. The soul of capitalism, that is. The future becomes clear. Eyebrow grooming has a history dating back to ancient Egypt. Well worked brows can enhance the beauty of a face and distract from [...]

- “Tasmania plough”: mutating aphids
by Antone Roundy
30 Mar 2004 at 5:13pm

- “Arrogant hermit”: Arthur versus the badger
by Antone Roundy
29 Mar 2004 at 3:39pm
The electronic crystal ball has shown me two words: “arrogant hermit”. I see a sword. I see a stone. I see a bone. The future becomes clear. Archaeologists hope to unearth the remains of medieval knight Galgano Guidotti, an arrogant and lustful knight who later became a hermit. A sword reputed to have been miraculously thrust [...]
- “Escalator duty”: hedonism in the sub-continent
by Antone Roundy
26 Mar 2004 at 3:23pm
The electronic crystal ball has shown me two words: “escalator duty”. I see people going up. I see people going down. The future becomes clear. The advent of well-maintained, air conditioned malls in India symbolizes a transformation underway. In-duty elevators and escalators, graffiti-free walls and no litter reflect the upward ride that the nation is taking [...]
- “Silent fuse”: the biggest party ever
by Antone Roundy
25 Mar 2004 at 2:43pm
The electronic crystal ball has shown me two words: “silent fuse”. I see nothing. I see something. The future becomes clear. French and Swiss astronomers claim to have found the most distant galaxy ever seen, 13.23 billion light years from earth. The light from this galaxy is said to have been emitted when the universe was [...]
