This is the incredible.

This is... the best news I've heard all week.

This is... gosh, you just gotta see it. Suffice to say that it's from the pholks behind Lark News, so it's bound to be pretty much the funniest book released all year.

Nice. I love Larknews.com, and have converted more than a few people to it. The "Wal-Mart Bans Racy Worship Album" story is still the all-time favorite.

Reading the preview is hilarious, although I think they are confusing "Fundamentalist" with "Evangelical" a little bit. I'm working at an Evangelical-run radio station (Billy Graham helped put us on the air 50+ years ago) and they seem to be quite open to Catholics, Orthodox, mainliners, and the like. The fundamentalist-leaning station I worked at before was considerably less open to the same groups.

Of course, if they have a "Evangelical vs Fundamentalist" list, I'll be happy to be proven wrong Smiley

Still, the comment about Led Zepplin playing "Stairway to Heaven" backwards for an eternity would make the book worth it alone....I heard that stuff back when I was in Jr High, and just heard about the contraversary again on NPR last night.

That's the beauty of being evangelical--we can blame fundamentalists and liberals.  =D  
I got "80" on the quiz, sliding just into "somewhat evangelical."

I hope I can get a copy of that at local bookstores.  Between this, America: the Book, the Far Side Collection, and the Complete Calvin and Hobbes, I'd be set for life humourwise.

Fun facts about Chuck Norris:

Newton's Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

I took the test and apparently I'm backslidden! lol (and if that is 'backslidden according to evangelicals' then I'm good with that!)

Don't be silly. Liberals have conservatives and fundamentalists have Pat Robertson and liberals. Everybody's got plenty of people to blame.

Do you even have to ask if I'm "backslidden"?
