The murky pastIn another lifetime our editor published a little college-pamphlet thingy called The Erratically, and while he was out of the country for a year, a reader named Greg Knauss took it over. Knauss published a (now unfortunately lost) story called "Ambrose Bierce is Dead in Cuernevaca," contributed by our editor from across the sea, which imagined the details of Bierce's fabled final days. (Carlos Fuentes did the same thing better in The Old Gringo.)
Knauss, who has not vanished off the face of this earth but in fact has a wife and kids in Woodland Hills, now runs an elegant tribute to Bierce called The Devil's Dictionary 2.0, with snarky definitions of new English words like blog and (Instapundit perennial) indeed.
The punch line? I found Greg through a random link on Textism.
