Continued from last issue And, they say, as the two young boys grew to be young men, they found that they had special gifts as well, and their special gift was one of creation. Each one of them had this. And because they were twins, they shared this power equally. Even though they had very different personalities, they had the same power.

By Paul Hetzler We all know that foods like beans and cabbage may give us gas. There is one case, though, where gas gives us food. Fortunately, it’s not the same kind of gas. From roughly mid-February through the end of March, carbon dioxide gas helps dispense an indispensable culinary delight. Yep, maple syrup is gas-powered. Apparently, the only reason maples run in spring is because their sapwood is charged with tiny gas bubbles. Carbonated wood – what’ll they think of next? A couple of decades ago, science was at a loss to explain how s...

For decades, Sam Kunaknana has caught grayling and hunted caribou along Fish Creek, a small river that meanders over the open Alaskan tundra near the Iñupiaq community of Nuiqsut.

Roughly three-quarters of the residents of Nuiqsut, which sits in the center of Alaska’s North Slope some 20 miles south of the Arctic Ocean, mostly eat foods harvested from the wild. But in recent years, li...

By Paul Hetzler The search for a way to restore youthful vigor dates back at least to the writings of Herodotus in the 4th century BCE. The pursuit continues today, though in the domain of science, rather than guesswork. Among the best-known historic quests to reverse the aging process was Juan Ponce de León’s fabled hunt for a “Fountain of Youth” in the Caribbean. Having driven a few million native Tainos to early graves in Spanish silver mines, Ponce de León sailed away in 1521, reportedly seeking this magic water. Alas, Ponce de León wa...
By Isaac White. I’ve decided that it’s enjoyable to mention some things I’ve tried to watch but stopped early because I didn’t like them. It doesn’t mean I only delight in not liking things and then spreading the word. I like to believe that I’m doing a service. Not only that but I also feel I have impeccable taste in film and television. That was sarcasm, I normally find that sarcasm can be hard to express properly in print unless you know the person. Anyhow… I’m genuinely being genuine and saving you some time from options I’ve found to b...
