...Remember how your weird cousins from Northern California used to keep a brick in their toilet tank to reduce water flow? Remember how you thought they were crazy? Well, they might have been, but they were right about conserving water. "It does help to put bricks or a quart jug filled with gravel, for example, into the toilet tank," says Swistock. "A heavy item like that displaces a quart or more of water - and that's one less quart of water the toilet needs to refill itself." Once you've mastered water displacement, try another, even more challenging conservation measure...

Disaster has been averted...

But while the Cajun, Tejano and Native American selections are individually clever, their close proximity emphasizes similarity rather than the genres' diversity...
...lecture: I run into student volunteers collecting for the Red Cross in front of the Science Center. One holds out a plastic jug, swollen already, and I press a couple of green bills through the bottleneck. I nod quietly to myself, impressed with the campus’ philanthropic spirit...
