THE GREAT ANTHROPIC (HUMAN) COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE

Garry Rodgers

What kind of universe lets you wake up in the morning? That’s not a trick question. It’s not theology, and it’s not some late-night, dorm room, stoner puzzle. It’s a plain reality question.

Scattered laughs in 'Sex Pass'

Robert Denerstein

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass brings a slapdash quality to a comedy that opts for a glut of gags that bob on a sea of silliness.
