Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

As I write this, the top five selling books over at amazon.com are:

  1. Nostradamus by John Hogue

  2. Twin Towers by Angus Kress Gillespie

  3. Nostradamus and His Prophecies by Nostradamus

  4. The New Jackals by Simon Reeve (about Osama and cohorts)

  5. The Secrets of Nostradamus by David Ovason

Numbers 2 & 4 don’t surprise me, but 1, 3, & 5?

:rolleyes:
