Wild boars, coming to a bookstore near you!

I'm happy to report that the Johns Hopkins University Press will be publishing my book Reading Herodotus: A Guided Tour through the Wild Boars, Dancing Suitors, and Crazy Tyrants of The History. It should be out in the fall of 2012.

Throwing toilet paper at bears

Here's something of interest. Charmin has a site up celebrating its sponsorship of 20 public restrooms in NYC. (If you check out the celebrity bio, you'll find that actress Molly Shannon "inaugurated the stalls with the ceremonial 'first flush.'" What, one wonders, does it do for one's resumé to be featured on Charmin's toilet paper site?)

The site has toilet-paper-themed background music and a "flush-o-meter" where you can view the red state/blue state divide as it pertains to toilet paper.

More importantly, there's a toilet paper roll toss game. I defy anyone to beat my score of 465!

I got 335 but it makes me dizzy. I never was very athletic... :-)

Oh my. Ian's not only got that VOICE and that ACCENT, but he's experienced with toilet paper throwing! Brita doesn't know how lucky she is.
