...citizens of Soap Lake, Wash. have found the solution to their economic woes: a Giant Lava Lamp. The tiny rural town hopes the lamp will become a major tourist attraction, with neon psychedelic blobs of color undulating inside the 60-by-18-foot structure (about the height of Widener Library) day and night. The Soap Lake City Council fully supports the plan: “Wouldn’t you stop to see a lava lamp?” Councilor Leslie Slough asked the Boston Globe. “A great...
...Soap Lake, the Giant Lava Lamp comes as the solution to three problems: too few tourists, too much space, and a lack of definition as a town. Here at Harvard, we have the exact opposite problems. We have far too many tourists, all of whom show up in tour buses at 7 a.m. and feed the squirrels.

Lathering up in the morning with caffeinated soap can now provide you with 200 milligrams per wash—that’s twice the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Unlike a cup of joe, which is done when you take your last sip, each bar of Shower Shock soap contains 12 servings, and you can scrub...
...also a nonstop networker. "She was hyper--30 decibels loud, 90 miles a minute, always trying to get something going," says ex-boyfriend Robert Hall. "Lana wanted to be 'in the scene' so she could meet someone to help her along." Her website exhibits photos of her with soap-opera actors as well as with older stars like Kirk Douglas and Paul Newman. But her screen credits (Barbarian Queen) were not up to that level. Friends described her as always ready to serve as "arm candy"--that is, a pretty date--to industry players, in hopes of landing a role...
