...Asner's eyebrows, a geneticist would have the tools necessary to fertilize the embryo of a child with specific kinds of comedic potential. Though testing so far has only been done on pigs--not a legitimate gauge, since it is hard to distinguish their laugh from an oink-snort--results are promising. Some studios and networks are toying with the idea of "development nurseries" that would venture to create the optimal candidates for sitcom stardom through gene manipulation...
...Degeneration-Xers, dressed in neon gereen adn black, successfully destroy and humiliate all their adversaries. They are cocky, obnoxious, and beloved by all. To them, pinning someone is not as important as hurting them, and their victory dance is a spectacle that every man should behold: with a chesty snort, they raise their arms and thrust them downward, forming an X over their groin.

...there. For instance, every week I point people to our website, timedigital.com for more information about the column's topic.

Snub-nosed, wide-eyed and high-spirited, Heche has an equally conventional transition to make, from Xanex-popping, would-be sophisticate with minimal survival skills to a woman who can bop a bad guy with a fallen tree branch and help repair the airplane for a getaway. She is also encumbered with a tiresome fiance (David Schwimmer), who takes...
...poor, city-dwelling adults, but teens account for more than a fifth of those who say they have taken heroin in the past year, double the proportion in the early '90s. Researchers believe more kids are using it because it is now sold in purer form--pure enough to snort or smoke. Like Ted, most teens will not inject, but they don't mind taking a puff or a sniff. (Injecting heroin is the quickest way to experience its rush, but the drug still packs a punch when snorted or smoked...
