The other day I went into a drugstore to pick up some dandruff shampoo. Though my hair dwindles, my dandruff output remains steady. The remaining hairs must working at it harder and harder.

I first heard about Partial Taxidermy (PT) when I was an art student in college. My actor friends used the term to describe people who were deficient in bodily movement and emotion, yet strong in presence. At my young age, I took most things literally and I believed actors were faithful to their guild, always portraying truth… and I certainly believed these guys, they were grad students.

There are more pineapple-related injuries than shark attacks annually on average in the United States. I know this because I have a friend who cut herself coring a pineapple and another whose friend was killed in Hawaii by a pineapple that fell off the back of a truck.  I have yet to meet a shark attack victim -- or even be separated by six degrees from one. I am sure that there are many other victims of the ultra-sweet fruit that neglect to report their incidents out of sense of unimportance or embarrassment... yet few that have been chomped on by a shark escape media attention.
