Tell me about the tattoo parlor you work at, the Sea Tramp in Portland. It's a fascinating place. It was started by a guy named Bert Grimm, who allegedly tattooed Bonnie and Clyde and Buffalo Bill when he lived in St. Louis. He moved to Portland and retired, but decided that he couldn't stand to be retired so he opened up this shop that I currently own part of. There's so much ancient stuff there. We have an incredibly old piano in our storeroom and nobody knows how it got there. We actually found a Tommy...
...grocery store on a busy street in Lagos, Nigeria. Never mind if you don't have much money. Most local merchants are happy to break open a pack and sell cigarettes one at a time - single sticks, as they're known - for about 10 Nigerian naira, or 7 cents. "St. Moritz is the most popular brand," says Yakubu. "But [people] also like Rothmans and Benson & Hedges...

...something that's rare in the world of Russian theater, with its lingering Soviet ethos. "The Bolshoi Theater actually operates quite well as a theatrical organism. It is not like some other theaters where one man decides everything," says spokeswoman Novikova, making a reference to the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, which has grown to outshine the Bolshoi under the strong - some say autocratic - hand of artistic director and conductor Valery Gergiev. "In the Bolshoi, we have a structure where everyone has their own responsibility and makes their own decisions." (See pictures of the Bolshevik October Revolution...
...yard. If Steve McNair's potentially game-tying pass in 2000 to Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson had just reached the end zone--and if the Titans had gone on to beat the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV--we'd be memorializing McNair, who was murdered at age 36 on July 4, as an NFL legend. Instead, we'll recall the quarterback, who was reared in small-town Mississippi and drafted out of tiny Alcorn State (Miss.)
