The Internet IX

In case you missed it, I announced Flashing, my new flash-fiction writing project, earlier today. I hope you check it out when I start it up. Anyway, on to today's little packets of byte-sized internet treasures. My three favorites...

3 - Gawkers' list of companies who's stock price is cheaper than their product. Next time, instead of buying shorts at the Gap, just buy a share of their company!

2 - Amazon's customer reviews for BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES and also ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!! (Paperback). The book costs $135 dollars, by the way, and sports this snazzy cover:



A sample review:

This is one of the better books I've read all in caps on the subject. I am thankful that Amazon has given voice that so many crazy people shouting at traffic don't have.

I was initially concerned due to the disclaimer "THIS BOOK MAY BE REVISED: BECAUSE OF COMPUTER DICTATORS" and worry for the safety of the author. Has the robot uprising/rapture begun? No need to worry, the message is to not use birth control and seek repentance, in that order? I will try it both ways and see if the sex is hotter, or the repentance. Based on the results I would like the challenge the author to a karate match and we will see who is filled with the Holy Spirit.
