Curious to find out how "bad" your self can be?

This novel (courtesy of Ryan D.) reminds me of one of Al Jaffe's classic "snappy answers to stupid questions":

This is strangely weird.

That is, I find it strange how weird it is to see Dorothy (I know it's Judy Garland, but still) reading The Wizard of Oz.

Have you ever seen a baby rattle from Germany?
