Terrible Analogies

Stayed home sick today.  Funny, I got a flu shot this year but still came down with a bug.  I did still manage to log in and slog through a few hours worth of work before I finally had enough.  I eventually shut down the computers, grabbed a few random books off of the shelves, and retreated to the comfort of the couch.  Flipping through my copy of Who’s Who In Hell (which can now be found free online, but a physical copy is much easier to thumb through) I spotted the following passage:

You’ll note the typo in e-mail #2.  I’m sure the author meant “phase” and not “phrase”.  Also, the formatting is off on this entry, with the bullet point to #3 aligned to the right instead of the left.  This is a massive tome of a book clocking in at an encyclopedic 1,237 pages, and errors like these are bound to slip through, but I still blame the editor.  It’s his/her job to catch these things, and they dropped the ball.

If you do manage to make your way over to the online version of WWIH, a few interesting and/or amusing passages can be found under the subjects of “Logic“, “Freemason” (which describes admittance to the group and their secret handshake), and “How To Obtain A Wife“.
