Ye Gods, they're everywhere![^]
I think I'll write 31 pages (+ front & end matter) on how to buy snake oil.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

|
|
|
|
Don't forget to include a whole chapter: "Check out my other books"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Good point. If I use lots of cover shots and synopses, I'll only have to write about 12 pages of material for each book.

Use a big font: than it's only 12 sentences.

With a bit of MS Office clip-art on each page, twelve short sentences!
Hey, now that we've worked out the business model, we ought to do something with it.
Shall I write a book about it? It'll only take me twenty minutes.

And you can get those sentences from QA answers!

My God, I'm really cr@p at this!
Fixed.

I found the answer to all your questions. It's all in the Matrix.

Superb!
I'll have the book ready for release by the end of the month!

I'm amazed.
Nobody has popped up to tell you that his question is better than yours, and you should look at that one...

I'll add it to the requirements.

It took 24 hours to write the book...

Don't knock short books. O'Reilly publishes a number of short books in their Pocket Reference series. I've learned more from these about SQL, CSS, and other TLA's than in most of the door-stop tomes out there.

Absolutely! Very often a quick-reference, which is crammed full of short definitions of everything, is the most useful document in the world, if you already know much of what you're doing.
But 37-page books that claim to turn you into a Ruby professional or an Android developer?
Anyone with any experience in databases will know that you can't store that much information into that many sectors.

...I've had a screaming headache all day. I've taken nothing for it and it still hasn't just fixed itself.
So I just cracked the first beer for the day. I'll report back later if it has made it worse or fixed it.
Not sure if I will be able to be too scientific with any facts I provide later.

"I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible."

Between ages 15 til 30 old I often had severe migraine.
I've never tried beer though.
Get well soon!

A simple remedy is "Indian Head Massage", also called "Head Malish"; requires someone else to do the 'malish'.

I wrote a story set in Australia once. The fact that that happened is probably what caused your headache.

Did you hear the rumor about butter? Never mind, I better not spread it.

That has become a pat answer around here.

You mean a bat answer, as in "Butter up!"
