Steele's Rudimentary Economics - Disguised under the cover of 'Rudimentary Economics' is hidden a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from 1885.

It is a scrapbook of sadness, gore, tragedy, woe, wasted lives, bloodlettings, shootings, live burials and WTF. Customers who like this item might also like The Latin Reader.

  • Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, eh?
  • No thanks, I'm trying to give them up.
  • OK... here's an interesting exercise.. scroll down on the page Hank links to, 'til you get to the bottom, then click on the button that says "corkscrews"... Then scroll down that page until you get to the part about "The Patpong Corkscrew Club"... (NSFW, by the way), and start exploring... then, someone come back and explain this all to me, 'cuz this may the the strangest set of pages I've ever found on the internet...
  • Hmmm... interesting. But what I found more interesting is that this is coming from the website of the owner of a Thai transvestite polo team and the world's largest collection of corkscrews. Go figure! I could swear that TUM had a hand in the logo and name of the Screwy Tuskers.

  • holy shit hank, what have you done?
  • Best 'o the web, I say!
  • what, you no like ladyboy?
  • I WISH I had thought of the Screwy Tuskers! Sounds kind of like an English ale.

  • Any newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a web of horrors, I cannot understand how an innocent hand can touch a newspaper without convulsing in disgust. -Charles Baudelaire
  • Great post. Weird that the work Websense filters blocked that site as porn. Maybe it was the transvestites.
  • Would've been nice of zombie bob to give a link to where he found the content.
  • jeez, Hank...I gave ya a darn map! Alf L. E. is my new hero...except for the lawyer part...
  • Yeah it isn't really important.
