Fundy Bumper Sticker of the Week

An alert SFL reader spotted this car at a stoplight and snapped a picture.

I’m always a bit confused as to what the point of this kind of sign is. If this is outreach then what exactly does the driver want other motorists to do with this information?

I’m more convinced that signs like these are more analogous to flying Alabama flags of the sides of your car during football season. It’s just a way to identify which team you’re rooting for. “Go AVs!” “Hurrah old 1611!” “Git ’em KJV!”

Book Review (With Extra Commentary on a Variety of Things

Here a man gives a vigorous and detailed review of a book that changed his life: The Full Cup, the autobiography of Peter Ruckman. On a side note, I don’t know who designed the cover but it’s about as creepy as I would expect a book by Ruckman to be.

I was interested by the reviewer’s claim that the King James Bible is the “#1 book on Planet Earth.” I wonder if he knows that the majority of people on the planet don’t speak English.
