...Arntzen is convinced that the reddish, powdery substance he holds in his hand will make the world a safer place. Arntzen, an Arizona State University biologist, has been working for nearly five years to create what is basically freeze-dried tomato juice--but not from any ordinary tomatoes. This fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruits, not vegetables) carries a gene from a strain of the E. coli bacterium. Some strains of E. coli can cause violent diarrhea and death. Swigged down in reconstituted juice, however, a protein made by the E. coli gene should act as a vaccine, priming the immune...
...instance, which carries a full line of Sony electronics, charges customers 1˘ per item for regular UPS ground (three to five business days). AMAZON.COM ships free when you spend $25 or more (with some exceptions). Elsewhere, shipping can get pretty steep. If paying CRATEANDBARREL.COM $8.50 to ship a $40 fruit bowl sounds unreasonable to you, check to see if the Crate & Barrel store at your local mall has it in stock...
...question is a familiar one.

The windows were fogged with oven-fresh heat, and as soon as the customers stepped inside, the nasty weather seemed very far away...
...Eternal Evil of Asia,? from Chin Man-kei (whose credits include the lesbian-witch romp ?Sex and Zen II? and ?The Fruit Is Swelling,? a twisting of ?Big? into the against-all-odds-charming pedophile fable of an eight-year-old girl with a ripe 18-year-old body), Tsui Kam-kong, the Bluto of Hong Kong sex movies, is turned into a literal dick-head. (Circumcised, since you asked.) Another man falls under a hunger spell while at a restaurant. He eats all his Mediterranean noodles, then the fingers of one customer and the face of another. Finally...
