I now want to know what Arthur Clarke, Miles Davis, Pope John Paul, Miss Piggy, etc have in common…

OMG – YES! The Pear Shaped Man was sooo creepy! I read that (lessee, I was probably around 10 or 11 then) and was horrified by the whole concept/idea of the story. Man, what memories!

Here’s an excerpt from the story:

When I was a kid, I had one issue of Omni and I guess that was my first non-soviet magazine. It was really awesome and as far as I remember it was in english, but had one translated short story ^_^

Wow, I also forgot about OMNI. I had several issues at one time. I am sorry to say though, that I cannibalized them for some art projects I was doing. They had very good images for collages, many of which I sold.
I had many of the first issues of “Heavy Metal” then also, but that’s another story.

Thanks Scott

Occasionally they’d have articles about weird but real subjects and approach them with some surface attempt at research. I remember my favorite being an article about lucid dreaming: what is was and how to teach yourself how to do it. I remember loving that one because the how-to was spot on and I had many years of fun with self-induced lucid dreaming.

Awesome find. When I was about 10 years old I ordered a subscription to Omni and I was really excited, but then they stopped printing them 3 issues later.

Nice! I collected Omni back in the day (mid-to-late 80’s). Hard to say exactly what it was about, generally sci-fi themed – a little bit of UFOlogy, a bit of future-thinking, some sci-fi stories. I wonder if I still have them somewhere…
