...tank of nitrous oxide. NO2, what dentists use, laughing gas. He offers me the first balloonful. I've never been to a dentist who used gas but it seems like fun, and he doesn't have to persuade me to take it. As I suck in the gas, cooler than the air in the living room. I feel giddy but not dizzy, and I laugh a little. It feels like the moment before I passed out in the grass during recess in fourth grade, When Egghead sat on my back and I breathed in and out hard forty times...

Thus, Applied Optics' unnamed scientist concludes with scientific conviction, heaven is hotter than hell by at least...
...recent study of Kandinsky, "interacted with our own aliveness, thus creating reality." One can feel its pressure, vivid and tremulous, in the darting lines and patches of color beneath which a landscape is forming in No. 160b. (Improvisation 28), 1912, no less than in the cooler, more architectural forms of the great demonstration pieces, like Composition 8, No. 260, 1923, painted after he moved to the Bauhaus in Weimar to teach...
