...bland piece of plastic, it will produce tumors in rats and mice," says McGill, who assessed the studies on behalf of VeriChip. He says it would be a leap to apply the findings of studies in mice to cats or dogs - or to humans, for that matter - which are much more complex animals. Few official scientific studies have been conducted on the effects of microchip implants on house pets, but none have found a link between the chips and cancer, says McGill. If there were a problem, he says, we would have already seen lots of cancer among the approximately...

Their interests differ to say the least, but their closets may be surprisingly alike (no matter how long they spend in them). Details magazine once pointed out the similarities between preppy and gay fashion, including popped collars and braided bracelets (who couldn’t use a good roping now and then?). FM takes the theme straight to Harvard, the better to help you understand the world in which you live.

Santa Muerte's precise origins are a matter of debate. Some experts say its roots lie with Aztec spiritual rituals that mixed with Catholicism during Spanish colonial rule. What is clear, however, is that Santa Muerte developed a large following only in the last quarter century among Mexicans who had become disillusioned with the dominant Church and, in particular, the ability of established Catholic saints to deliver them from poverty. Residents of crime-tossed neighborhoods like Mexico City's Tepito began revering Santa Muerte more than Jesus Christ, experts say. Some of its devotees eventually split from the Catholic church...

...Syrian military intelligence officers based in the Bekaa, plying them with whisky, women and thick wads of $100 bills. Hamieh received expensive presents in return from his grateful clients. One gift was a brand-new Porsche which Hamieh, unaware of the car's status value, blithely destroyed in a matter of days by driving it over rugged dirt tracks to visit his poppy fields. He has the dubious honor of being the only Lebanese on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of international narcotics "kingpins." Although Hamieh says he retired years ago, he still occasionally receives foreign drug traffickers hoping...
