a 1605 practice manual for Spanish lawyers... was bound in the skin of a man named Jonas Wright.

Shocker

I wonder if I'll still get zits if I'm made into a book post mortem?

Imagine dusting THAT book.

Books bound in human skin? Big deal. We have to eat someone alive, arrange that person's bones into an inverted circle of protection, and then vomit that person's soul into the circle before we can pass the bar exam (the spot where we vomit the soul is the place where we build our law libraries).

The Necronomicon? Written by the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred? That's one you definitely want to check the Cliff Notes on before trying to read the real thing.

Disgusting.

Why?

Once I'm finished with this body, I couldn't care less if they bind a book in it or make dogfood out of it.

Just don't waste money burying it.

Paul Wolpe of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania [said,] “There is a certain distancing that history gives us from certain kinds of artifacts. . . . If you had called me and said these are books from Nazi Germany, I would have a very different response.”

It has often been noted that the origins of the Holocaust were eugenics, which had scientific pretensions, and medical experimentation. The Holocaust was preceded by the Nazi decision to do away with "useless eaters."

It is typical that a "bioethics" expert is unable to see these connections. Bioethics is a fraudulent field in which people get fraudulent degrees in something called "ethics" so they can work in the medical industry and shield the people who pay their salaries from charges of criminal conduct and gross immorality.

Thus, if you are a large hospital liable to be sued by tort lawyers, you have a biotheticist on your payroll who will testify that everything you do is right and good, including killing off any useless eaters who happen to be lying around the hospital.

IF the book came with a free packet of oxi, things would be just fine.

I suppose it is too much to hope that Jonas Wright was a lawyer and that a dissatisfied client "arranged" the skinning and tanning.

For a client to tan the hide of a lawyer would be a switch, indeed.

Umm.... Thanks for the lesson in book ethics. Now I can definitely eat my lunch.

Not to mention you have to present a medical certificate that your conscience has been surgically removed before being allowed to take your third year of law school.

Cliff would have plenty to say I'll bet about this.

Conscience? No, we have to kill our entire souls before we can complete our first year.

No surprise -- I once rubbed a small dictionary and it grew into an encyclopedia.

Sorry, someone else has it. It will be used to retrofit the Superdome in the event of another major hurricane.
