I am still working on a FAPA zine (I dug out the typewriter and my typewriter paper and hopefully will do some typewriter formatting tonight, I have never done anything with more complicated formatting than a business letter before) but here are two interesting facts I learned while writing drafts that I will *not* be putting in a zine mostly going to fans of my dad's generation:

1. I have tried the special edition Dream Flavored Coca-Cola. I am pretty sure it tastes more like MCYT Dream than Sandman Dream, if you were wondering.

2. One of the plants frequently listed in traditional medicine as a form of herbal birth control/abortifacient, which has been shown in at least some animal studies to be effective, is called "Squirting Cucumber". The genus name is Ecballium, but once you've heard the common name that doesn't really make it better...

Also I voted in the Minecraft mob vote for the first time! (Since this is the first time you don't need twitter.) I voted for the Tuff Golem which is the one I'm most likely to actually be able to do anything with. I'm not sure how the Rascal will really fit in with the general feel of Minecraft gameplay, but if it gives you iron, there is a chance it could be used to replace iron farms (which really, really bother me and they need to somehow write them out of the game.) I'm pretty sure the Sniffer is going to win though.

I was hoping for the dinosaur turtle to win, but I was surprised the tuff golem came last! I'm glad it wasn't the rascal, even if the prizes weren't great I know I'd be tempted to find it again and again even in huge caves and I can't imagine how that would not get frustrated.
