* Psychic buffs ask questions like “Is there life after death?” All they get is, “Yeah, right.” Or something as muddled.

* The Pope thinks there is an “intelligent designer” of life and the universe. Surely, you’re joking, Mr. Pope. Did you think it just now?

* Paul Spice says the Da Vinci Code is just smokescreen, and his The Watchers is the real deal. If you want nothing but the truth, get it here cheap and wholesale. But the question is: who the hell is Paul Spice?

* How urban legends start and why they persist.

* Scholars think that the Bible’s King David — yes, that murderous lunatic — was a myth. In other news: “scholars” spend time on this?

* European mummies unearthed in China: maybe evidence of Bronze Age Asian sex tours gone horribly wrong. Which probably went as far as Mongolia.

* If taller people are smarter, why does it sound so oddly funny?

* Good news for kids: homework doesn’t work. Xbox does. And rock and roll. And drugs, too.
