The July issue of Spy has 3 pieces that examine the finer points of
Twinkieness. The first article explores the cultural significance of
the Twinkie (including the Dan White ``Twinkie Defense'') and includes
the authors' favorite recipe for baking home-made Twinkies. A related
article enlists 6 chefs in a bake-off to create the ultimate Twinkie.
The sidebar contains a "rigorously scientific Twinkie lab-and-field test"
by Bruce Handy who subjected the Twinkie to exposure, radiation,
extreme force, extreme temperatures and immersion in water:
Summary of Results
Contrary to the expectations of skeptics, Twinkies did exhibit some
of the usual properties of a nutritive substance-- noticeably going
``stale'' on a windowsill and blackening when exposed to heat and
microwave radiation. On the other hand, the Twinkie's survival of a
120-foot drop, along with some of the unusual phenomena observed in
connection with the ``creamy filling'' and artificial coloring, should
give pause to those observers who would unequivocally categorize the
Twinkie as ``food.'' Further clinical inquiry is required before any
definitive conclusions can be drawn.

Is this like the "Boys from Brazil" or what?
Did anyone happen to notice that the four finalists at Wimbledon all
looked like siblings? Could it be that they are all the products of
secret aryan genetic experiments conducted at a hideaway in Brazil or
Austria?

Well, this has nothing per se to do with Diana's
article, but the subject line fit, and we're having
a bit of trouble here (telnet may be cheap, but
it sure is moody.) I just got the latest issue of
Drummer (#130) and here is the award-winning ad
from Dear Sir this month.
REFRIGERATORS TURN ME ON
Do kitchen appliances make your dick hard
like mine? If the answer is yes, then I'm
your man. Strap me to your Frigidaire and
make me squeal like a pig. If you're tall
(at least 6'7") and own a Black and Decker
can opener then you can also own me. Power
tools and stain resistant floors are a big
plus. No sickos please.
