I share Rich's annoyance with Omni's obsession with the bizarre, but
Omni does have a kind of insouciance that stodgy old SciAm has been
sorely lacking ever since Martin Gardner left.  For instance, a recent
Omni had an entertaining and informative article on theories of how
dinosaurs "did it".  Well, haven't *you* ever wondered about that?
