There's no escape from chickens. They're everywhere (although Bahrain has the highest human to chicken ratio at 40 to 1). You'll find plenty of other often-hilarious facts together with practical, historical and cultural information in The Bluffer's Guide to Chicken Keeping, which lifts the cooking pot lid on the lives, lusts and quirks on the world's most successful species of bird.

Few people would have believed that in the early years of the twenty-first century humanity was being watched from the dark void of space.

"Willy Loman, Nosferatu (or Biffo, the Vampyre Slayer)" is a parody of two of the most beloved American stage classics, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie." It turns out that the "Loman Line" is not Miller's lacerating examination of the selling of the American dream and his sympathy for the soul of the everyman, but a line of the Undead (Nosferatu) that have left a ruinous legacy of lunacy and calamity behind them. Willy Loman finds himself brought back to life and seeks revenge, while his two sons somehow become involved with the Wingfield family from "A Glass Menagerie," who have all found themselves reunited in Queens fifteen years after Willy's "first death." Wally of WPDP3 says, "Read the first two and cry; read the third and wonder why."
