I had to read the Slate article twice to understand the problem (pun intended). I completely get it and it's indicative of how far we've come in thinking mathematically. But math should not be open to such interpretation - that's one way we can accidentally blow up the world and can probably explain a lot of the problems we experience with computers. It took me 2 seconds to come up with 9 as the answer. This was just a game though. I'd like to think if the author wanted 1 as an answer, the problem would've been 6/(2(1 + 2)).

"But whether disco was murdered or died a natural death, it was still a target years later."

If it died a natural death - great. If it was murdered - even better.

". . .so he subsequently declined to do any more work for the magazine." He's done something else that actually made publication or this is just an empty threat? Sorry Mr. Crumb, but this one just isn't right. Perhaps you could do something on Mr. Madoff for us? I don't think so.

R. Crumb and the New Yorker in the same sentence is an oxymoron if there ever was one. This would be a riot on The Onion though. . .

It's a dessert - what would you expect instead, Brussels sprouts? The legislature has since changed this anyway. Out of fear of offending those who back the State Fruit (blueberry), the Whoopie Pie is now going to be the official State Snack. . .

I grew up on Famous Monsters of Filmland. It was the first magazine I ever subscribed to - paid with my own allowance money. Forrey and the Ackermansion were legends in our time. . .

Interesting, but I just need to know what all those radio stations across the country that (used) to play the "best music of the Eighties, Nineties and Now!" are going to say.

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds - narrated by Richard Burton. Saw it on the list but had to mention it. First heard it on Halloween night back in the 70s. Great concept and interpretation.

If you love(d) the Twilight Zone, you can't pick a favorite - there's just too many. But if someone who had never seen the show asked what it was about, what five episodes would you recommend?

The Night of the Meek
I Sing the Body Electric
The Passersby
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
The Changing of the Guard
Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?

I couldn't even do this. Couldn't bring myself to not have one of the above in my personal "Top 5." And if I think about this any longer, I'd have to revise it. . .
