Grind means to weep for the hard times of 1933, encompassing everything from segregation and the Depression to the woes of a refugee Irish terrorist. The terrorist sings not one but two songs about how he blew up a train on which, unknown to him, his wife and son were passengers; this is by no means the unlikeliest coincidence in which he is involved. An aging comedian whose sight is failing wanders into a backdrop (he has also somehow lost his sense of direction) and, fearing the loss of his job, shoots himself.

...wondrous bestiary tended by young Taran and his winsome would-be princess Eilonwy. The menagerie includes Hen Wen, the clairvoyant pig, whose bottom is rounder and wigglier than Madonna's; Gurgi, whose species is unknown, but who is definitely cute, cuddly and comical; the Fairfolk, minuscule fairy creatures who come and go in clouds of Disneydust; and the three witches, who are more funny than frightening.

...games of all time, 20 questions. The classic mind-bender is captured for the first time in a funky yo-yo size sphere that comes in four bright colors—golden yellow, ocean blue, dark purple, and red. “Are you an animal, vegetable mineral, or unknown?” questions the two-inch LCD screen, daring all cynics to try their hands at beating the game. The glowing orb then asks 19 more questions, letting the user choose between possible answers yes, no, sometimes, and unknown...
