Signs
"To the person who knows the American freeways, their signs
read like a litany. 'Right lane must exit.' This 'must exit' has
always struck me as a sign of destiny. I have got to go, to expel
myself from this paradise, leave this providential highway which leads
nowhere."
--Jean Baudrillard, _America_
For those of us who are still travelling the Parkway to Nowhere (we
just ignore those 'must exit' signs), the litany we experience often
verges on the bizarre. And guess what? It's not just *road* signs. I
bet you never imagined that there were places on the WWW that might be
considered, well, a little odd. No, really, there are some. Here they
are, we'll show them to you: (Is this a clever way of
extending our road sign tradition to an issue about an Info Highway
that has no road signs? Or is it merely a cheap way of admitting we
didn't get to go anywhere this month? You decide. Um, or not.)
