Here's an interesting tidbit I came across today. I'm not sure this is the best advertisement Amazon could have come up with for the Kindle.



Talk about product placement!


The ways of Amazon, they be but strange.

The thing that annoys though, is that they make lots of moolah.

Cheers

I assumed they were saying you could read about HOW TO fix your toilet, while you were fixing it, with this light, carry-it-everywhere device called Kindle.
See, you just gotta put the right spin on the advertisement!

No, it's more to show what you can do once you got the toilet fixed

Haven't you read "Cheaper by the Dozen?" One of the funniest, true books of all times! My parents were firm followers of many of the things in that book, and one of them was making the toilet a library. My brother and I had our own bathroom, and our parents installed bookshelves and filled them with the entire set of 'Britanica Junior Enclyclopedia!' By the time I was 13 I had read A-Z several times. Did you know that Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined and Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around?!?

Read the book, "Cheaper by the Dozen." Do NOT watch the movie. You will laugh so hard your sides will ache! It's a true story about the man who developed time-motion study into a modern science, practicing on his family of 12 children!

i've heard of it, but i don't remember ever watching it. however, i will read it, based on your recommendation i could use a nice, humorous book

ah, no kindle version on amazon yet, despite it being a well-known book.

YAY. i checked my university library and they have two copies for borrowing will pick this up soon ;D

Clocked in simply to say that this is a film that I loved.

I still make beds the 'Time and Motion' method.

Read it and have a giggle.

The shower method save my bones during military basic training. In and out in under a two minutes!

Nohmi, the film doesn't come even close to the book. Not even close! From the minute you pick up the book to the last chapter, you are rolling on the floor with real life hilarity! The film was funny. The book is funny X 100!
