I'm not going to write a bunch of dazzling words to sell shirts, but if you'd like to see the designs for MYTHFITS, Check them out here. More shirt designs will be hatched soon, and if there are requests, just call Miss sunshine on her cell. She may or may not pick up, depending on the gossip of the day. Thanks for stopping by.

Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* A new Scott Pilgrim trailer gives several of the comics a boost above the Wimpy Kid. They still can't top Janet Evanovich though.

* I still have no explanation for the recent surge in interest in Persepolis. Has there been some sort of recent media notice?

* The highest debut belongs to a new Hellboy volume, followed by Chew & Legends: The Enchanted.

* Interest in the Blackest Night hardcovers increases as their July release looms closer.

Knowledge is Power

I just found these two videos this morning and they are truly amazing.

This first one describes in scientific terms the anthropological history of human empathy and how some of us have extended our compassion to other species and the planet.



The second one describes the psychological and social nature of different time zones and cities and how it affects our mentality and health.



Each is ten minutes long but will fly by because of the revolutionary way in which they are presented with visual and verbal information in an easy-to-absorb formula. A brilliant way to appeal to both verbal and visual learners simultaneously.

Do yourself a favor and watch them both. If you dig these half as much as I did, you'll be halfway to China.
