MISCHIEF

I've decided that the best possible way to stick it to the man today would be to STEAL A BOOK. Namely this one:
Stealing this book is easy because some people uploaded a pdf of the whole thing. So go download it from the book pirates over at: http://machineofdeath.net/a/ebook

From the introduction: "This book, unlike most others, started its life as an offhand comment made by a bright green Tyrannosaurus Rex."

It's a collection of stories about a machine that predicts how a person will die and how they cope with the knowledge of that information. And while there were some fairly predictable outputs such as "Cancer" and "Suicide", there are others like "Almond", "Exhaustion From Having Sex With A Minor", and "Improperly Prepared Blowfish" that are decidedly more out there.

On top of it all, this book was a great success for independent publishing, premiering at number 1 on amazon, beating out the debuts of new books by John Grisham and Glenn Beck. So read it for free! Then if you like it, you can buy your very own copy and help out some cool folks and annoy Glenn Beck.

You may be asking yourself: "Evan, how does not-stealing a book stick it to the government or in any way promote the sort of mischief associated with Guy Fawkes day?"

To which I say "Shut up."

So this was the brainchild of Ryan North, the guy who does Dinosaur Comics? Neat.
