"The latest Japanese import isn't another gas-pinching compact, but rather a numerical logic puzzle that resembles a crossword square.
Suddenly, it's hip to be square (again).
The Sudoku craze -- kickstarted by a retired Hong Kong judge named Wayne Gould -- has earned bows in Japan, made Brits go crumpets, and sent newspapers throughout Europe into a tizzy to publish the puzzles in their pages."
Well at least Orlando does....

Architectural historian Robert Harbison of London Metropolitan University wrote about his visit to the Capuchin Catacombs in Cabinet magazine. The article is accompanied by intense photos by Marco Lanza. From the article: In Palermo... corpses are treated as characters in a play. Perhaps Walt Disney and Madame Tussaud were inspired by places like this, but the Capuchin crypt will not remind you of their worlds, for in spite of all the talk about the great lengths the monks have gone to in order to create lifelike effects, it feels like somewhere that fell into disuse long ago. Most of the corpses are wearing clothes, it is true, many of them are sitting up, and whole rows of them are standing. But standing is only a mistake of vision: they are hanging from hooks, so their feet don't normally touch the ground. And the clothe-- there's a kind of allegory in them. They are so dusty and so faded that the whole picture sinks toward something like monochrome. They remind me of a painter that a friend of mine knew who got the idea of painting indoors with the blinds drawn and the lights off. The results were extremely melancholy: muted colors, indistinct forms. Link...
