How Magazines Reproduce
February 3, 2005 - Musings
Have you ever picked up a dandelion and blown 
off all the seeds, watching them blow in the wind? Nature designed the dandelions that way.
Have you ever been walking through a convenience store or a newsstand and picked up a magazine to browse through it and had two or three subscription cards fall out and blow away like the dandelion's seeds? They were designed that way too - magazines need subscriptions in order to reproduce and keep the species alive.
