I was at a friend’s house a few months ago and ran across a copy of Harper’s<\/a> magazine. I’d read it before, mostly in dentists’ offices and such, but I read this one cover to cover. There was an especially hilarious piece, Beware of Dogg<\/a> by Dr. Ninjaforkian, in the Readings section (which has apparently been posted on \/.<\/a> and MetaFilter<\/a>). Since then, there’ve been bits on ClearChannel<\/a>, the food chain, Korean sayings, and the coming election<\/a>. Eclectic, no? <\/p>\n

I just found out that one of my favorite sections is online: Harpers Index<\/a> displays fascinating facts and gives you the source for every one. Just what you need at parties!<\/p>\n

“Percentage of Chinese exports to the U.S. accounted for by merchandise sold at Wal-Mart : 10 [Wal-Mart (Bentonville, Ark.)\/Department of Commerce (Washington) ]<\/p>\n

Number of factory jobs that China has lost since 1995 : 25,000,000 [Alliance Capital Management Corporation (N.Y.C.) ]”
\nfrom Feb 2004<\/a><\/p>\n

“Number of Canadian prison inmates who overdosed in March on fellow prisoners’ methadone-laced vomit: 2 [Saskatchewan Department of Corrections (Regina, Canada)]<\/p>\n

Number of inmates charged with drug trafficking for providing the vomit: 3 [Saskatchewan Department of Corrections (Regina, Canada)]”
\nfrom Sep 2003<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t see the sources online, but they’re there in the HTML source, and hence in the cut-and-paste above (I don’t really understand why they weren’t showing up; neither Mozilla nor IE displayed them). Go ahead, read them all<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
