OMG -- Finally -- Jane Austin and MUMMIES!

Did you love the Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters? How about PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES? How about a real parody, not only of mummies in general, but of Regency England in the midst of their mad Egyptian phase, as Jane Austin would have loved to have written it? My friends, you are ready for MANSFIELD PARK AND MUMMIES, written by the ever talented Vera Nazarian. Here's a review that just came out.

The report is, this is a scream -- for your Holiday Lists! Here's the Amazon link.

Talk about decorating for the holidays....

I must wonder if the owner of this house either works with SCARE! For a Cure or is a Yard Dog Publishing person. At any rate -- it is safe to laugh, read all below the photo!

Thanx to Beth Loubet for finding this one....

Google translation bar....

Hummmm....

This may work in some languages, but if you want Japanese translated into English, maybe not. It handled titles of books all right, but when it got into narrative blurbs, let's say that a parody site could not have done better messing things up. I know enough about what I was looking at to say that it bore little to no resemblance to what the books actually were about.

Hope it's not that frustrating for Japanese readers looking up on English sites -- but it probably is. Sigh.

Generic Celebrex?

Has anyone tried generic Celecoxib? Apparently it reaches Canada via Barbados, from India. Anyone found the best price on Celebrex in Canada? I'm having no luck getting off it, and my insurance goes up in January. The retail price is killing me, even through Costco's Pharmacy.
