Great example of something my dad taught me when I was a wee one. You might think you really like a song, but first make sure you listen to the lyrics.

Watching Heat the other night, just went through this with - William Fichtner. Learned he was a local boy too. Watching anything these days I always have IMDB at the ready. And for most series' there's usually a wiki by character name to help fill in other blanks. Sometimes turns into a big rabbit hole.

-chuckle- Let's clear up a little of the vagueness. Consider this: UBI is not a substitute for work. The emphasis is on people's well-being as consumers, not the well-being that comes from having a job and doing it well. 
Dude has a plan that just might work. It's all about The Benjamin's baby. . .

Conan is one of my favorite fantasy characters and the first movie was awesome. Not so much the second (and let's not even speak of the third). Schwarzenegger has always wanted to return to the franchise but they've never been able to make a deal. Rumor is that Netflix has a Conan series in development. Schwarzenegger was just in the news talking about the possibility of a sequel:

I've toyed around with the idea of creating an information literacy game that begins with intentionally starting a wild and false rumor on campus that inductively leads students toward evaluating the veracity of the rumor.

Have you considered using a campus radio station broadcasting a news report using the same concept? Alien invasion and all that. I've heard that Mars could work as a plausible source. Even better, broadcast over AM. Apparently, no one listens to it anymore, and it's considered useless. Long fuse, slow burn right?

Doo Bee Doo Bee Doo. . . But I digress. First, let me say that I'm pretty sure tequila can provide the same hallucinogenic effect and at a much lower price point if that's what you're looking for. Anyway, a few years back, Miss C. posted a great article on archived books. One highlighted was a 1941 cocktail book So Red the Nose - cocktails submitted by famous authors. It included Death in the Afternoon from Ernest Hemingway:
Pour 1 jigger of Absinthe into a champagne glass. Add ice cold champagne until it obtains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink 3 to 5 of these slowly.

As someone who loves both licorice and alcohol (responsibly), let me say that proper opalescent milkiness, is indeed a subjective preference. For the record, I made it to three. Thank you Ernest. Also, an editor's note to the recipe: After six, the sun also rises.
