Ah, Amar Chitra Katha!

I grew up on this stuff too. Having spent my summers in an ashram in upstate New York, we were surrounded by statues and did the Ramayana and Mahabharata as plays, did puja and all that. The comic books were one of my favorite parts. Thanks boingboing.

In the realm of anecdote also:

I consider flushing my nostrils and sinuses with water to be a part of washing my face: after getting my hands clean, I shnork plain tap water into each nostril and blow it out. Saline would probably work better, but this works excellently, so...

Maintenance is better than cure. I started doing this, by the way, when I ran into it while reading up on Muslim prayer practices... never know what you're going to find.

Thanks for not being their little gadget monkey. Good job.
