In the universe, there are two great forces at work. We know them as good and evil or positive and negative. They are two powerful forces in their own right.

You're waiting at a red light and the woman in the car in front of you absentmindedly continues to twist and twirl strands of hair with her fingers -- her therapy curl. You've just filled out an order form and the guy who is waiting for someone from the warehouse to get back to him impatiently taps his pencil on the side of the desk.

You're at work and the woman in the cubicle across from you draws tiny swirls and symbols on a piece of paper when her phone call gets placed on hold. If all her spiraling lines could eventually be connected…

Naples has many records of pizza since around the year 1000; the first mentions call these flatbreads laganae, and later they are referred to as picea. In those times, pizzas…
