a bit of tidying up

- So this blog is back with a tad bit of a new design.

- Also, lincolnmichel.com links here now. Had a glitch before, but should work now.

- Big things will soon appear over at the Gigantic magazine blog (featuring me, James Y., Annie D. and Rozi J.)

Stay tuned.

Blast from my past

Something from the vault (McSweeneys.net):

Q: Dear Lincoln,

We often hear about the amazing abilities of other animals, such as the incredible strength of ants, the jumping power of fleas, and the speed of cheetahs. Is there anything that humans are the best at?

—Cathy, age 12

A: I hate to break it to you, Cathy, but those "facts" are little more than myths. The average ant can barely lift a bread crumb, and I have never seen a flea that could jump high enough to slam-dunk like NBA All-Star shooting guard Kobe Bryant (swoosh!)
