So … I guess no one really is reading [Teemings](http://www.teemings.com) after all, huh? ---

It’s left to me, then, to say :o, :smack: about [Teemings](http://www.teemings.com/). I hope you have a page counter so you don’t _really_ think that, Euty. [memepool](http://www.memepool.com) occasionally links to stuff here. The (eww) broomstick column is at the top of their list today. For those without access to old-fangled technology, the groups are available via google: [alt.fan.cecil-adams](http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=alt.fan.cecil-adams), [misc.facts.straight-dope](http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=misc.facts.straight-dope) ---

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned [TalkOrigins](http://www.talkorigins.org) yet. This site gets linked at least five times in every GD thread, as required by board policy.
