This time, it ain?t no sweet "Melissa." Unlike March?s viral vixen, which produced little more than some brief mayhem and an entertaining manhunt, ExploreZip isn?t a virus, it?s a worm ?- and quite an insidious one. Although structurally different, it's spreading as fast as the lightning-quick Melissa and doing a lot more damage. From large corporations such as Boeing and IBM to smaller, ironic targets such as antivirus software maker Symantec (and in countries from Germany to Israel, where it is believed to have originated), ExploreZip is entering computers through their e-mail systems...

He turns into a worm. Furthering this redoubling of the gender-turn as species-turn, Bryan Leach '00 plays an anthropomorphic (albeit morphologically impaired [a la Rilke's Archaisicher Torso Apollos]) dog, a stereotypical Scotland Yard scrub, who's neutered jokes wear thin, to say the least. Also included in this category is Donatello Mywife (ably, even riotously, acted by Michael Roiff '01) because he is: a) Italian...
...Rock 'n Roll in exchange for campaign funding from disco-freak Hal Elujah; in order to save Rock 'n Roll, Elvis impersonator Al Shookup (Seth Fenton) travels back in time from the year 2099 to Philadelphia in 1787, where he elicits the help of Founding Father sidekick Brook Worm (Adam "Waka" Green...
