Almost a decade ago, Pink Floyd played a 2½-hr. concert on the shores of the Crystal Palace pond in London. To enhance their trippy riffs and overweening crescendos, the Pinkies brought on a 50-ft. inflatable octopus and detonated a fireworks display. By the time of the first encore, all the fish in the lake had died, victims of the band's cosmic boom and crushing decibels...

Dermatologists warn that prolonged or repeated exposure to intense heat can cause permanent web-patterned skin discolorations, ranging in shade from pink to brown. (Habitual use of very hot water bottles and heating pads can lead to the same problem.) Dr. Stephen Stone of Springfield, Ill., had one patient whose upper back, shoulder to shoulder, was crisscrossed by marks resulting from sitting too near a wood-burning stove. His advice: "Stay...
