"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan.

Frightening, yet oddly exhilarating."
From the back cover of Death From the Skies! These Are the Ways the World Will End by Philip Plait

4. A friend of mine...

...just had his first book published, a collection of his award-winning short stories. In keeping with his rather odd sense of humor, he wanted the jacket blurb to close with: "OK, now you've read the muthaf***ing jacket, and you've had your f***ing latte, and you've made eyes with the blonde with the big breasts browsing in the travel section who would never go out with you. Now buy the goddamned book."

His publisher said, "Uh...no."
