Following in the X-Filesish tradition of turning everything into a conspiracy, the death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was a shock to the systems of most of those in the alternateen cesspool. Conspiracy theories ranged from "the government killed Kurt" to "Courtney killed Kurt" ... everything except the obvious, "Kurt killed Kurt."

As strange as it sounds (and strange it is, I have to admit), the author puts the information about lactose intolerance out there in a comprehensive, personal-experience manner that actually sounds feasible by the time she's done presenting it.

Best, the layout is full of altered pictures (Cobain holding a pepto bottle, a milk carton with Courtney's picture on the side) and lactaid package wrappers. There's even a manifesto on the first page as to what the cause is for her argument, and illustrated "exhibits" that "prove" her theory.
