Things I've Found by Mark Rose

by Mark Rose

So what the hell is this? Simply put, it's stuff of interest to Seattle writer Mark Rose. In 2001 he began sending out a newsletter to friends and associates called “Things I've Found.” We were as nonplussed as you are right now, but soon began to look forward to these irregular missives. It turns out Mark's a twisted genius at finding really interesting/appalling stuff on the Web. Periodically we'll collect these articles into eBooks for easy download. Usual article disclaimers apply: “Things I've Found” is for an adult audience and the views expressed herein are not necessarily shared by the ElectricStory.com staff, owners, and affiliates.
