...ANTHRAX? Several different lab tests can detect the presence of anthrax, but no single screen can give a definitive diagnosis. Culturing a sample (from the nose, for instance) and growing the bacteria is the most conclusive way to confirm anthrax, but this can take several days. Using antibodies that stick to bacterial proteins found in the blood is another less time-consuming...
...admit that the very idea of the infallible superhero is decades outdated. Based on Ben Edlund's cult comic, this is exactly the kind of highly ironic, hero-puncturing entertainment that is supposedly a no-no now. Except that it's also creative, appealing and spray-milk-out-your-nose funny.

Neither Farras nor any of his 10 brothers have gone to school?there is no school in their village and, like their father, they will likely be illiterate...
...jacket of each of the books I bought. Add the fact that he looked exactly like John Malkovitch, and it could’ve been a scene right out of the Twilight Zone. What is ‘off’ is not conventional strangeness of the mohawk-and-nose-ring variety, but a subtle, subliminal sense of unease. Where words like ‘kooky,’ ‘wacko’ and ‘lunatic’ are essential parts of a New York vocabulary, it’s much harder to define the elusive...
