Runaway Bunny Reviewed By A Maniac
Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if the book The Runaway Bunny was reviewed by a maniac? Wonder no more!
According to one particularly peeved person, the book that we all thought was cute is “like a horror movie where the mom has gone insane and hunts down her child who dearly wishes to escape her.”
This is good stuff, folks.
Personally, we were always troubled by the line in the book when the little bunny tells his mom, “If you become the wind and blow me…” But maybe that’s just us.
The review was highlighted by the site LeastHelpful.com, a collection of less than helpful user reviews posted on Amazon. Great idea. And yes, we’re a little jealous that we didn’t think of it first.
If you disagree with the above reviewer and want to buy The Runaway Bunny anyway, you may do so at Amazon.
Let Us Say Goodbye To The Space Shuttle Discovery
I got a bit misty-eyed watching this video of the Space Shuttle Discovery flying for the last time. It was on the back of an airplane, but that’s still flying.
Kids don’t get excited about the space program anymore, which is too bad. When I was a lad, space shuttle launches were a very big deal. Now, not so much.
I remember very clearly gathering around a TV set in school to watch Discovery launch. Not sure what it will take to get kids excited about space exploration again, but I hope somebody figures it out soon.
For more about the final voyage of the Space Shuttle Discovery, and what NASA is up to these days, visit NASA.gov.
Update—Jeffrey Marlow has some ideas about Making Space Cool Again at Wired.com.
