Future generations of digital archeologists are going to discover Slashdot, and they'll infer from reviews here that all of mankind's books were published by Packt Publishing. When you've absolutely, positively got to get your book reviewed on Slashdot, trust no one but Packt Publishing.
This story would be a lot more impressive if it wasn't an promotion sponsored by the fine folks in Oscar Meyer's marketing department. Tied in with the earlier GPS-in-a-bar promotion thought up by the fine folks in Cadbury's marketing department, and you gotta wonder if all this recycled marketing material is a result of the recent sale of Slashdot's parent company. I for one am getting tired of slashvertisements and repackaged corporate promotion on this site. Whatever happened to news for nerds?
If you're such a biblical scholar, how come you didn't point out that Jesus obviously didn't write the Bible 2012 years ago either? Clearly, he wouldn't have known how to write at such a young age.
Silly... you say the Biblical account is "some 4000 years, at least, after events." The Earth is 6000 years old and Jesus wrote the bible 2012 years ago. So you are saying the events happened before God even created the Earth? Get your math right...
According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower "with its top in the heavens...lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth". God came down to see what they did and said: "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do." So God said, "Come, let us go down and confound their speech." And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel "because God there confounded the language of all the Earth" (Genesis 11:5–8).

You're wrong... 9 out of 10 book reviews posted to Slashdot are related to Packt Publishing.
And that's still better than most Slashdot readers.
Or just fire them now and outsource.
Nonsense. Every single invention in computing came from Apple.

That, sir, is offensive... my dog showers daily.
Is that you posting from the afterlife, Christopher Hitchens?
And then they approach the winning candidate, and say "you won, eh!"
Different drainage basin... you're thinking of the Tsangpo or Huang.

That's the conclusion I draw from the study.
