...amid the horrific tales of puppies in pillowcases and decapitated dogs, the scientists get a few laughs too. In 2004 some Texans sent samples of what they were convinced was a chupacabra--a legendary hairless beast that drains the blood of its prey. "We don't do that kind of work, but they submitted it in a roundabout way, so we didn't know what they were looking for," says Wictum. The chupacabra turned out to be a very mangy coyote...
...dwelling lit only by a small, battery-powered fluorescent strip. He proffers a misshapen right hand for a shake. Shrapnel from an Israeli tank shell broke Abu Samhadana's forearm in 2001. His hand looks caved in, his wrist bends grotesquely and his skin is unnaturally smooth and hairless, as though the limbs had been melted.

By the end of August, a certain number typically conclude that it was all a big mistake, that a nice liberal-arts menu would be more to their taste. The plebes going through Beast in the summer of 2001 were tough: only 41 members quit, the second lowest dropout level in 15 years. They would need to be, since...
Holy living spirit of the Lord, is this video incomprehensible. O-Zone is flying a cargo plane (the least sexy aircraft imaginable)? But sometimes they’re on the wing, caressing each other’s hairless chests and coming tantalizingly close to making out? And at arbitrary moments, they turn into absurdist comic-book pictures (my favorite is the one of two Indians playing a soccer match against a cowboy)? And in the end, it was all a dream? What...
