Actually, this was written a couple of years ago by Will Shortz, and published
in Games magazine (I can't remember which issue).  He's published a few 
follow-up EATs since, and they have been showing up all over the place,
including OMNI, without any sort of acknowledgment. (Yes, this is a plea to
read Games, a brilliant monthly collection of crosswords & other wordplay etc.,
which is rapidly going broke for lack of readership.)

OK-a visual joke:
Raise your hands high above your head, wave your fingers a bit, and ask,
	"What's this?"
