Extended Old Joke of the Moment
> The Buddha walks up to a hot dog stand and says,
> "Make me one with everything."
And after paying for it with a 20, gets no money back.
When he asks, he's told that 'Change comes from within.'

Art of the Moment
I've always appreciated the artwork of Guy Billout, frequently appearing in "The Atlantic Monthly". They're very playful in a formal kind of way, often with architectual or aquatic themes, demonstrating impossible things, or otherwise giving reality a bit of a twist. I was trying to find prints of his online (still looking, actually) when I found his own website with many examples of his work. Great stuff...makes me wish I had pursued art other than music and doodles.
