God Made Me Do It
Does God, in His infinite wisdom, convince people to get rid of their car insurance? Does He encourage cannibalism? Does the God of more than six billion people actually have time to root for the Minnesota Vikings?
According to some, yes. How do they know? God told them. Luckily, God also told Marc Hartzman to write this book, a collection of the most shocking, absurd, and hilarious things people have ever claimed God asked them to do, and to present them for your pure reading enjoyment.
Including:
* The man that God told to perform surgery on himself
* God's generous offer to miraculously fill his believer's gas tank
* The fateful day God (assumedly feeling nostalgic for his teen years) asked a man to TP a police station
* The woman God instructed to direct traffic—topless
* And, sadly, many more

Weird Stuff from The History Channel
Seems as if there should be some prime material of interest for WU-vies in these five titles.Or in the DVDs of the History Channel show they derive from.
Or even in the official boardgame!
Voodoo in Benin
Nearly twenty-five years ago, I wrote a novel titled CIPHERS, which featured scenes of voodoo in Benin. Long before YouTube was even a concept, I had to do all my research in books. I would have killed to see this video.

Non-Sexual Breasts
The site known as 007 B dot com is devoted to the "non-sexual" history and usage of female breasts. Why is it named this? I have no better idea even after reading the official explanation.The number 007 (read as "double-oh-seven") is normally connected with the thought of intelligence work and spies. Here at 007b.com the 'B' doesn't stand for "Bond" but for BREASTS. Our goal is to get people to use their intelligence, so as not to fall prey to the typical "007 - James Bond" type of thinking, which is so prevalent in many countries of our world today.
Anyhow, as part of their mission, they offer galleries of reader-supplied photos of "normal breasts" in all their variety, along with commentary by the owners of the breasts. I will not reproduce any photos here, but allow you to search out the galleries yourself. And of course, you must order their manual on the topic.
Two Weird Books
But aren't phone booths going extinct everywhere? Who will save the endangered tart card?!?
And of course, the Golden Age of print magazines is long gone or vanishing as well. But you can encounter the weirdest examples of the great Era of Zines in a new volume entitled Bad Mags 2. It's supposed to release in June, although Amazon is uncertain, so you'll have to check out its predecessor first. And visit the Bad Mags site here.
