In this chapter, we’re going to dissect the rumor that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain faked his death to become Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.  Those familiar with this series know we like to play along with the legend a little bit before dissecting it. But considering these are real people, one of whom has been dead for some time, that feels crass. So we are just going to start by saying, no, this is complete fiction. The Story A recent inquest by a group of independent researchers alleges that Cobain’s…

William Golding’s 1954 novel “Lord of the Flies” is considered required reading in most middle school English classes.

The novel it’s based on tells the story of several young…
