Here are some questions from the article (plus one from another article in the same edition of the magazine). All good conversation starters at your next party, I'll betcha!
1. SHOULD WE KILL HEALTHY PEOPLE FOR THEIR ORGANS?
2. ARE YOU THE SAME PERSON WHO STARTED READING THIS ARTICLE?
3. IS THAT REALLY A COMPUTER SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU?
4. DID YOU REALLY CHOOSE TO READ THIS ARTICLE?
5. Why doesn't this woman have a belly button?

Vern "Al" Equi Knox AKA "Sol" Invictus, spends most of his time in the tropics, seen in the northern and southern hemispheres during the alternate summer seasons, but really prefers the lands of the palm trees. Bonus feature here is Draw a Tree example.

Diagnosis: Person who draws this obviously has no ambition, is lazy, and doesn't like to work. Thinks the world should be warm, surrounded by sunshine and oceans, food should fall from the trees year round. Obviously delusional and out of touch with the real world. Will never amount to much.
