well naturally ; it's far too dark in there. outside of a dog, however... well actually i think they still can't read.
Kangaroos are remarkably stupid, not to mention prone to violence, always a delightful combination, especially when you're crossing through a mob with a freshly-bought loaf of bread (Been there, done that...most of the loaf survived, as did I). A recent blog-post from someone whose blog I subscribe to, who is much funnier than I think she realises (and who lives just down the road from me, about 1.5 hours south, as is the mentioned "Currumbin") states:

"I touched a kangaroo, it twitched violently, and I almost crapped myself thinking that it was going to beat the crap out of me."

The Australian approach to nature - touch it and see if it fights back. Crikey!

Cheers,
Marc (I hope they can't read, or I could end up with a mob with 'tude in my driveway)

65. shred them and use the shredded books as confetti
66. Give them to a homeless person who can the build shelter
67. Donate them to the poor (those without a reader)
68. Donate them to Gen3 owners so they know what it's like to be able to turn pages

Now Jon, Gen3 owners can turn pages, they just don't always know what page they are on.

They can't read but I can read to them. My friend will be at your home shortly (revenge for calling the Kindle Ugy). They have a nasty kick.

I know, and I can attest to the innate testicular-retraction abilities of the human body when they do so, so the threat is duly noted and respected.

You have to admit though, it is ugy.

Ugly is not the word I would use; but, this is a g rated site so I will refrain. Which brings us to:

72) Tie a string to them and fish for bookworms in front of the library

73. Gives them to Kindle & Gen3 owners so they get actual working page numbers
74. Throws them at book publisher yelling "It would not hurt as much if this was an eBook!"

"Ugy" is the word I use. The gods know I don't want to upset the Kindle crowd (which is why further down the thread, I append my signature statement with "...and I want one").

Funny coincidence how you got soixante-neuf, hey, Good Professor Wood?
