...Lady Pat wants to convince me that Sudoku is the caviar of puzzles, an ideal mind expander, opening a world of numerical possibilities with a minimum of means. All right. I acknowledge the game's elegance. And, heaven knows, I'm a number freak. Attach a few of them to a pitcher's or batter's record, and I'm off in Rotisserie or SABRmetrics dreamland.

They lend biographical nuance and historical comparison to the game of baseball...

An ordinary family drama like 7th Heaven costs $2 million an episode, while a show like 24, with location shots and elaborate special effects, is "like a feature film" that airs every week, Galán says, and can cost even more. With so many episodes to produce, telenovelas are shot on the cheap: they use video, not film, and an entire run might take place on just a handful...
...where did that body fly to? Perhaps it was snatched up by God and taken straight to Heaven. Ahmads teacher, Shaikh Rashid, the imam at the mosque upstairs at 2781 1/2 West Main Street, tells him that according to the sacred tradition of the Hadith such things happen: the Messenger, riding the winged white horse Buraq, was guided through the seven heavens by the angel Gabriel to a certain place, where he prayed with Jesus, Moses, and Abraham before returning to Earth, to become the last of the prophets, the ultimate one. His adventures that day are proved...
