Heinlein’s _The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress:_ Buncha cons and ex-cons exiled in a cave on the moon bump off their doofus of a Warden and then make like they’re a _real_ country by threatening to throw rocks at the earth. Oh, and everyone speaks this weird slang. And they have really big marriages. Eventually, the earth invades. Edit: actually, this is one of my favourite books. I’ve never been able to finish the ones I hate (Shatner, I’m looking at _you_.) ---

Camera pulls back to reveal Bugs Bunny at the drawing board. “Ain’t I a stinker?” 😃 ---

THE BIBLE God made the world and Adam and Eve. Then people started begetting each other until Noah, then they had to start all over again. Then Moses built the pyramids or something, and took the Jews away. Then Jesus was born and was Xed for walking on water. ---
