I received an e-mail this afternoon to my work account, announcing that this site I'd never heard from had been used to search out information on me. After figuring out it wasn't a net hoax, I checked out the site, and realized that it's the scariest uber-stalker site ever.

Look at one e-mail send by Bill Gates. After you put your coffee down.

I received an e-mail today from a Mercury reader who was curious to know if there is place in town that serves a ?Luther? burger. Subject: Foodie Question Hoping one of your food writers/editors can help me?I am wondering if ANY place in/around Portland sells the doughnut burger, better known as the ?Luther Burger? in some parts of the country.

Ah, the trials and tribulations of living in the hills on the west side of Portland. A reader sends along an e-mail thread that shows they've got some problems in the Willamette Heights neighborhood. Roving bands of brazen thugs! But don't worry -- not the human type: As we returned from a walk this afternoon, one of the exterior restorers of the pink house on the corner of Thurman and 31st...
