Mr. Parker has generated more than 200K books, as an advanced search on Amazon.com under his publishing company shows, making him, in his own words, “the most published author in the history of the planet.” And he makes money doing it. Among the books published under his name are “The Official Patient’s Sourcebook on Acne Rosacea” ($24.95 and 168 pages long); “Stickler Syndrome: A Bibliography and Dictionary for Physicians, Patients and Genome Researchers” ($28.95 for 126 pages); and “The 2007-2012 Outlook for Tufted Washable Scatter Rugs, Bathmats and Sets in India” ($495 for 144 pages).

If it ever comes to pass, the eye-Phone will include GPS navigation, object recognition viewfinders, and search engine technologies all into one.
I don’t quite understand how we have forgotten that the “Olympic Torch” ceremony was invented by Hitler and his chums.
map of pirate and hijacking activity off the Somali coast from January to December 2007
2008-11-19:
TO BOARD the Sirius Star, one of the world’s largest oil tankers, Somali pirates had to haul themselves up ropes tied to grapnel hooks the height of London’s Big Ben, with the 330m ship pitching all the while in the tropical swell. Then there was the location, way out in the high seas, 800km off the coast of Kenya. The feat of vertiginous thuggery will be taken everywhere as proof of what is possible; it was the biggest ever catch by any pirate, anywhere in the world.
