An old postcard

Someone sent this to me from England, a long time ago. It was made in Ireland.

The Junkie Hex

I think this was from the Realist Magazine. It was from a time of NYC junkie break ins. Everyone had a super lock to keep 'em out. This was a more traditional method... used against witches in earlier times.

I just took down my season's greets cards from 2008. Among the gems was this one:

I found this among my bathroom reading books. I'll try it this week and let you know if it works:

So, first you strip. Then you write on your own chest... looking in a mirror and writing backwards... then you tape your hands together and then you slip on a noose... what a second, you can't slip on a noose if your hands are duck-taped... so you slip on the noose, then ducktape your wrists together... hmmm... how can you ducktape your own wrists?  Hmmm, I'm sure they thought of something. 

This one isn't funny: Drug Companies buy Reviews

This is from LIFE EXTENTION magazine. It reports on the drug company WYETH, and how it paid doctors to write "papers" on their drugs... with no research, sometimes just adding their name, without writing anything!

A Jewish Transexual Magazine?

Here it is, right from Italy. I was thrilled to get it: 

TRANI EBRAICA

Unfortunately, it's not so exotic, though it is inspiring. "Trani" turns out to be a town in Italy. This is the magazine of the Jewish community there, all 18 of 'em.
