Today is Monday, September 17, 2012. We have now done this nineteen times, bringing to you, dear reader, the weekly minutiae, the music, the joy, the high times and the Slowtime. Onward now! Once more for twenty!
- "All that We See and Seem" tells us that the Race to 100 has touched 97 with three and two and one remaining in our own long count. Eleven days until the next transfiguration, and woe to the inactive.
- Has the federal election cycle brought the fugitive Philip K. Nixon out of hiding to resume his activities? Some are suggesting that recent incident reports are proof positive of PKN's return, provoking fears and anxieties in these nervous times that his reign of horror may yet continue.
- Preliminary results of a spectro-genetic test, first announced in May, on a hair sample provided by an anonymous Kansan donor are causing a stir among Mooska-hunters, and Dr. J. A. Fitzpatrick is claiming they prove the existence of the mythical MaMooska. Is it all just a load of bunkum hooey? We asked the Fnordham biology department head, Professor Mila Hernandes, for her thoughts, and she quickly splashed hot water at us from her third-story window, suggesting that Fitzpatrick can expect to receive a very critical response from the mainstream science journals.
- The Libvil Bike Service has closed its doors after nearly forty years of continuous operation in the downtown area. The fifteen bikes and carriages that formed their fleet will be sold off on a first-come basis to interested parties, potentially allowing independent operators to take over the pleasure routes once managed by the company. This is part of a trend of radical changes taking place to the Libreville transportant infrastructure as the city struggles to accomodate a rapidly increasing population.
And so went the week In Infictive. This instalment has been brought to you by raspberry leaf and classic green from Uncle Hippie's Tea Shop, the finest in traditional cháhuā and herbal blends from the best mail-order tea service in the county Infictive since 1978.
