Alprazolam!

A link from Eve Tushnet sent me browsing off through McSweeny’s list archive:

• Harry Potter Spell or Psychotropic Medication?
• Lesser-known DC Comics Characters or “As Seen on TV” Products? (which reminds me of bugsybanana’s Top Ten Microsoft Office Assistants or villains from The Tick)
• 1960s Dance Craze or Kama Sutra Position?
• Physical Theories as Women
• Lyrics from Bob Dylan Tunes or Poorly Translated English on Japanese Food Packaging
• Freudian Blender Settings
• Quotes from Either President of the United States George W. Bush or Senator/Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars Movies

The "Physical Theories as Women" list would be fascinating many years from now to someone writing about the state of science education at the turn of this century. It should be put in a time capsule.
