Dear Friends, Due to unfortunate considerations of time and cost, Backwards City is no longer a print journal. However, we will maintain our presence on the web that, however meager, we hope you might enjoy.
Also at GeekPress, we find that scientists have created artificial prions in the laboratory. What are they, stupid? I've seen this movie.
What's it like to have a sense of supertaste? I myself was briefly cursed with the power of supersmell after living in a house with four other people (including one extremely unhygenic person) in Boston all summer in the year 2000. I can tell you, it was quite unpleasant; every odor was 8 times as pungent, everything smelt bad, and I was completely unable to eat.
Tired of wondering what to believe in? Belief-o-Matic is for you.
