This cracks me up more than an ostrich egg in heat. I just found out about this cyber thing called Google Print. It's been around for awhile (wow, Google sure does offer a lot of services) but it's had some buzz in the news lately, so like good Final Fantasy battle music, it's a call to arms. I was kinda disappointed I couldn't read whole books easily, as in many cases, they're assembled in snippets by result and there are numerous restrictions (i.e. antiquated copyright laws?hey, R. Sakamoto's right!) but I find it fun to do searches on whatever words fizz and bubble to the top of my head, and then make a run for it and read, read, read.

Dayum. Marquis De Sade is "restricted"? WTF are they thinking? Oh well, searches for vulgar words turn out well. Even more amazingly, the resulting page scans have them highlighted in signature Google yellow so you can be sure you won't be missing them!?Sure looks like a lot of erotica tidbits on there… I tell ya, funny to flip from those to cookbooks and then to this. I never knew some of this stuff existed before I started searching for it. That's a sure sign of a valuable resource!
