...wine and a children's book. When we turn the page, we are reading the children's book. "Forlorn Funnies," continues this way, folding one episode into the next, from a washed-up TV character to a guy lamenting his fallen hamburger to the confused sexual fantasies of a pink-shirted bird-watcher. Through it all Hornschemeier mixes up color palates, layout and drawing styles. The result is a screwy, goofball showcase of comix' unique ability to combine graphic design and storytelling...
Anna Nicole Smith is force-feeding me olives stuffed with jalapenos and garlic as we lie on her giant pink-satin bed watching Jerry Springer. "Why do those women get up and take off all their clothes?" she asks. After the eighth olive, my mouth on fire, she offers me a swig from her strawberry-yogurt chaser. "I've been in my jammies all day," she drawls in a Texas accent. Next we share a bowl of sliced pickles in lemon juice. She is not pregnant...
...year-old Manju Kumari to her fate. In his police confession, Karmakar says his wife, daughter and three accomplices had to gag Manju and pin her down on the earthen floor before the shrine. In ritual order, Karmakar wafted incense over her, tore off her blue skirt and pink T shirt, shaved her, sprinkled her with holy water from the Ganges and rubbed her with cooking fat.

...true Japanese experience, stay at a ryokan, a Japanese-style B and B. The Miyazaki Ryokan in Obama has luxurious, outdoor hot tubs overlooking fragrant, pink azaleas. Sleeping quarters are spartan but comfortable, usually little more than a feathery futon laid out on a tatami floor. The $195 a night includes a traditional dinner of sashimi, clear soups and grilled fish. Wherever you stay, pay attention to Japanese etiquette. Shoes should be removed and exchanged for slippers whenever entering a traditional hotel or restaurant. Visits to the restroom require yet another change of footwear; the inevitable lapse will...
...early architectural marvel, linking the high banks with an improbably long arch of white stone more than 20 m high. One traveler likened the bridge to a bow stretched toward heaven, another to a rainbow - an impression shared by holidaymakers into the modern era because of the pink light that bathes the valley in summer. Turkish builders overseeing the construction will use 140 of the original stones. The remaining 1,088 have been cut from the same quarry that Ottoman builders used in the 16th century. These massive limestone blocks, engineers say, are unique to the region in their combination...
