To steal by giving


Dr Greg Clarke, co-founder of the Centre for Public Christianity, has written an article for News Limited's online discussion board The Punch commending the translation of the Bible into Aboriginal languages.

Surely the last thing most Aborigines need is a white man telling them about a brown man who might be trying to save them.

White man has introduced many things to Aborigines - some good, many bad. Perhaps it is time that we considered learning something from their culture

If we must translate something why not the Harry Potter series or a Kate Grenville or Tim Winton novel and not the judgmental, instructional hell and damnation of the Bible.

Have they not suffered enough!

Good Looking, Easy Swallowing

I have previously blogged about bizarre book titles. So imagine the sheer joy I experienced when I discovered this book on a shelf last week.

Good Looking, Easy Swallowing - Creative Catering for Modified Texture Diets


Too funny.

For those who are a little prudish I do not suggest you google 'Good Looking, Easy Swallowing' anytime soon, because, well...use your imagination. :)

The Joy of Chicken and the Anger of Aubergines

The Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year is a competition that amuses me greatly every year. Accordingly, generous chuckles were generated by the news that to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Oddest Book Title of the Year a 'best of the oddest' competition is being held. Let joy reign unconfined. Odd contenders include...









I love the diplomatic term - 'Solitary Practitioners'




Subtitled 'Towards a politics of exhaustion'



The complete title is 'Highlights in the History of Concrete'








If you think the title is disgustingly suggestive you should see the pictures inside!
Cock? A Doodle? Doo?


'Better a sweater from a dog you know and love than from a sheep you'll never meet.' Priceless!



The accompanying book, 'RATS for those who don't care' comes with a complimentary packet of Rat poison



WTF?
