                              3GUIDE TO THE READER


This  mag  is  called Abnormalia also because we think it's a bit different from
the average scene magazine.
Reading it, if you have the will to read it, you'll probably agree with us.

In the 3ABNORMALIA1 section, where we collect short stories and poems, you find:
2- God's Aquarium 1- Humouristic and existencial weird story.

3CONCILIUM1  hosts stories all called LOST, just read them and notice how from the
same title different plots were created.

In 3NORMALIA ET VARIA1 are gathered articles of various kind.  Some of them have a
scientifical  background,  maybe  too specialistic, but that's better than a too
superficial text.  We think.
2- Perkele!1 - Whatever you have always wanted to know about the etymology of the 
             finnish best swear word and you never dared to ask!
2- What really happened at DEVCOM1 - Humouristic and not exactly-totally true

                               bombs around.
2- What about stopping Time? 1- What it would happen if we could build a machine
                              that can stop Time? Read it in this scientifical
                              article, written by a Physician.
2- The inquisition 1- Phoenix tells us all about one of the darkest things of the
                    dark ages...
2- Etruscans1 - Histort and hystoriography of the mysterious lost Estruscans.
              In Abnormalia you can even find a Finn (Peto) teaching Italians
              what were their roots!
2- Looking for the nothing1 - Our Physics master explains us the mystery of the
                            particles that don't exist.

3SCENARIA1 is a little mag inside the same mag. It's the only place in Abnormalia
where you can read something about the scene. Discoverd how, discover why
Scenaria is different from every other scene mag, just reading it.

Where our humble minds try to interrogate themselves on the oldest and most
important matters of our existences. In 3COGITATORIUM1 you can read opinions,
thoughts and mental masturbations of guys who don't think to have found the
solution of everything.
2- Just an illusion 1- The need of dreams and illusions, a part of us.
2- You1 - Where ends the genetic influences on ourselves and where begins the
        external conditionment?  Are you really a person or just a heap of
        thoughts of others?


The  3PHOENIX  CORNER1  is  a  personal and indipendent place where Phoenix, our
esteemed  and worthy co-editor (unique in the scene for the simple fact that she
is a girl) writes about whatever she wants, however she wants.

3TRASHCAN1 is just a file where are gathered random texts, unfinished or not
useable stories, short poems and meditations. A Trashcan of words, where we pour
random texts of different nature.
Don't bother of the quality, it can range from decent to trash.
After all this is the can for it.

3COMMENTARIUM1 is conceived as a critics corner where the short stories published
on Abnormalia should be commented and examined.
This time, in the introduction of the section, Macno makes an apology of his
ideas about Abnormalia, the rest and the world.
If you haven't understood what Abnormalia is about, read it.
In  this  issue you can find also some comments by The Ripper on some stories of
the first issue

We thought that it could be fine to host in Abnormalia SOME short stories in
foreign langauges. 3BABILONIA1 was the right name for this chaotic mess of
different idioms.
For  this  first time we have just a story in finnish, the title means "Saturday
night's  fever".   Just  learn finnish, the coolest and funniest language of the
world, to be able to read Peto's masterpiece.

Of  good  pieces of text is also full 3ITALICA1, the part of Abnormalia completely
written  in  italian.   Believe  us,  in  our mother language we can make things
better than in english.  What about studying italian too?  ;-)

At  the  end  you can find our "service" articles, credits, thanks, addresses to
contact  us,  recycled  paper infos and instructions on the way to contribute to
the mag.

Please  note  that  the 1(*)2 symbol at the side of a title in the menu points out
that  the  article  is  "recycled paper", look in the credits to know more about
them. (If ya want, I mean, you can survive also in the ignorance...)

At the end you can read about two faces of the same coin.
2The Ripper1 dreams with us.
2Billy the Kid of Skandal1 tells his opinion about Abnormalia and the rest.


3Let your eyes lay sensual on our words. We could even get excited for that!
