We are honored to participate in the Significant Objects project, an ongoing experiment by Rob Walker and Joshua Glenn wherein writers are assigned thrift-store items and then asked to write stories about them. The objects and stories are then sold on eBay. Proceeds from this round of Objects go to a great cause — Girls Write Now.

Kasper Hauser has written four connected stories — the first one is up. Bid now!

Here’s some fun news. Jesse Thorn has just launched the MaxFunCon store, where you can buy all kinds of cool stuff, including the first-ever for-sale-to-the-public KASPER HAUSER T-SHIRT. It’s got TWO unicorns, one going this way, one going that way. Check it out!

This is the (fake) web site of a super-secret Dutch paramilitary group known as “Zwarte Honden.”

Here’s an excerpt, an interview with an anonymous member of Zwarte Honden named “Pomegranate”:

MG: How does one join this group?
Pomegranate: I don’t think you can join. I think the lead singer died of AIDS. They were great.
MG: Not Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Your group…
Pomegranate: Only the elite cream of the crops are considered, and you have to meet the 5-5-5 requirement.
MG:What is that?
