WEB BOHEMIAN Weekend Edition (Saturday/Sunday, June 5-6, 2010)
(1)- ASK NOT -- Behold! 50 of the dumbest questions mankind has dared to ask taken from the comedy gold-mine that is Yahoo Answers. It’s a scary thought that these people have internet access, but even more terrifying is that they are breeding.

(2)- A LETTER CACHE -- In writing, René Magritte is unremittingly cheery. Unlike most artists he never spills into bilious complaints about lack of money, scheming gallerists and the dimness of the art-viewing press.

(3)- PSYCHOTHERAPY TIPS -- Therapists have a big advantage in the therapy office. We've read a stack of books and spent thousands of hours learning what to do in session. Clients have to learn as they go, costing them valuable time and money.

(4)- A MYSTERY -- Dutch police experts gather around a TV screen, watching hidden camera footage positioned to monitor a supposed case of vandalism at the graveyard of Aaslum, a little village of 160 people in the province of Fryslân.

(5)- DEATH MASKS -- Death Masks are easily the most haunting mementos of the deceased. They have been in existence since the time of Tutankhamun, whose solid gold burial mask is an object of extreme beauty and superstition.

(6)- WHO KNOWS? -- A range of theories exists as to why North Korea may have torpedoed a South Korean navy vessel in March -- but it's all speculation. U.S. intelligence officials freely admit they don't understand the country very well.

(7)- GEORGE ROMERO -- Zombies, as any cultural critic knows, are metaphors. They represent our societal and generational fears, or something. Romero’s hippie-era zombies are undeniably the stuff of nightmares.

(8)- TWINS MARRY TWINS -- As teenagers, identical twin sisters Hunny and Bunny Feller landed summer jobs as waitresses at the Laurel Park Hotel the Catskill Mountains. They met another set of identical twins and then married.

(9)- WARMING CAUSE -- It is believed that carbon dioxide was dissolved in the waters of the deep ocean during ice ages, and that pulses or "burps" of carbon dioxide from the deep helped trigger a global thaw every 100,000 years or so.
