Thanks as ever to alert reader Temple, finder of all things groovy. This is one of those hubris-decimating moments: just when you think you've seen it all, it proves to you that you really, really haven't. In honor of Temple, I issue a Beverage Warning: if you're drinking something, for your own safety, swallow it first. ("Jhatke Pe Jhatka," I think from Khoj , 1989) VPL! Bubbles! Leering! Ships! Fountains! An inappropriately placed hose! Wow. Read Full Story
