Reading Jim Windolf's article in the December issue of Vanity Fair, "Addicted to Cute," got us thinking about snark as a response to the growing culture of adorableness. We are definitely, and happily, a part of the backlash to all things precious...

The NYS Lotto has a campaign out right now for one of their games: "Sweet Millions". Try searching on you tube to find it - same thing. The commercials are funny - but sick at the same time.

Knock Knock Stuff "Lapsed academic" is a term a lot of us here at KK can identify with. For some reason the office is full of potential prefessors. It makes perfect sense—what other demographic is so well suited to our stuff? Professors tend to be slightly disgruntled, often tend toward sarcasm, and are frequently obsessed with organiza...tion. With that being said, how could we resist the link below? "Make Your Own Academic Sentence" satisfies our inner teacher, without the pesky Phd process!

Knock Knock Stuff If you haven't already, check out our 2010 Calendars! We worked with Chronicle Books to release these babies—and they are chock-full of our favorite kind of KK content: research-intensive tidbits with a bit of a bite! Every one of the team's family members are probably getting at least one for Christmas!

Being based in Venice, California certainly has it's perks (there's no need to expand on said virtues, really). But there is one thing that a lot of the team sorely misses...

While the Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year was brought to our attention rather late (having been written about in The New York Times all the way back in March), we couldn't help but posting about it today...

I had actually forgotten about that. And I hope she has too - that was not a happy period in her canine life. Remember all those staples?

Knock Knock Stuff We couldn't find a credit for this, but it was too good to pass up posting! Of course, now we wish that we had thought of something along these lines when writing "The Savvy Convert's Guide to Choosing a Religion." Knowing that others are successfully lampooning similar things as us, however, makes us feel almost as wa...rm and fuzzy inside as coming up with it ourselves!
