Fans of our first and second collections of “Separated at Re-birth?”images of Buddhist figures and their lookalikes know that the idea is stolen from an homage to the late, great SPY magazine. (Its”Separated at Birth?” pairings are perhaps what the magazine is best remembered for.
Here’s one from the masters themselves.
Hey everyone, Happy Arbitrary New Year! Ring it in with Interdependence Project founder Ethan Nichtern in his first piece for The Worst Horse, just posted.

Worst Horse reader Erin sends this pic of her new tattoo:
Here is another practice tattoo I just got.
It is the Dharma Wheel, I got it to remind me of the Noble Eightfold Path. The artist is Conan Lea.

The new (January 200 issue of Esquire is the “What I’ve Learned” issue, wherein famous (and not-so) people share, well, what they’ve learned. Among them is comedian Garry Shandling, who along with a couple of jokes — “Smoothies might be fattening. Especially the ones made with frozen yogurt and gin.” — lets a wee [...]

I have a feeling, though, that [...]
Thanks to Horse reader Ilene, who sends this great new Dharma-Burger. She writes:

P.S.
Love your website. Keep up the good work.

Just sharing this with you — a video that will give you a sample of music from the excellent hip-hop duo, Shambhala.
Imagine if the Wu-Tang Clan stopped talking about guns and drugs and instead started talking about enlightenment. That’s, in a nutshell, Shambhala. Their record, “The Lotus of…” (from which this track comes) is pretty [...]
