Welcome to the Straight Dope archive! The archive contains:
Recent columns. Includes all columns since May, 1994 in date order, as originally published
Classic columns. Includes (mostly) columns that appeared in Cecil's first three books. Categorized by subject
Past Mailbag articles. Items written by the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board that have appeared in our Mailbag feature. These articles are edited by Little Ed, not Cecil, so while we believe they are reasonably accurate, don't bet the rent money.
The archive does not contain every column Cecil ever wrote. We are posting additional columns at the rate of one per day in our Today's SD Classic feature, figuring you'll be so maddened by the slow drip of knowledge that you'll give up and buy the books. But they'll all get in there eventually. So far we're up to 1,400 items.
To browse columns, click on one of the links above. To search for columns currently available on the Website, use the form below. No luck? Then try the Straight Dope book indexes. If a column of interest is listed in one of the indexes but isn't in the archive, you'll have to break down and get the book, Jack. As a last resort, you can search the Straight Dope Message Board, for the reliability of which we make no claims whatever.
