  1. Here’s the bad guy of the story https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/3796179/our-sun-had-an-evil-twin-called-nemesis-which-may-have-wiped-out-the-dinosaurs-boffins-claim/

  2. Skin cancer for your kids anyone? You’re allowed to teach this stuff btw and not with the disclaimer of saying it’s fiction – maybe the story should inform people of faith by including some juicy fake news to entice them in?

  3. Over three-quarters of Mark’s content is found in both Matthew and Luke, and 97% of Mark is found in at least one of the other two synoptic gospels. Additionally, Matthew (24%) and Luke (23%) have material in common that is not found in Mark.

  4. Same story – different spin – blatant that they kept all versions in there – a good way to give a bit of what everyone needs to belive, I guess.

  5. Most scholars agree that Mathew is a propaganda version of Marc that was put in its place at the start of the new testament. Not just fudging it with obvious additions that Jesus was descended from Abraham/Moses/David etc, but also that he got stuck in Egypt, was a Nazarean, and all the other stuff that needed to be ticked in order for existing Jews to accept they had a new messiah on their hands. Pretty obvious to those who actually read the bible in a historic context. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCyFw3jnoUk

  6. RudeJude

    To be fair many educated jews spotted right away that Mathew just added a bunch of stuff that would allow us to follow Christ without rousing rabbis – little did they know the book they wrote was a hit with gentiles, which was a bit lucky (in that it gave rise to the biggest world religion within a few hundred years). Funny old world.

  7. This exists of course, its just that it’s called “print on demand”

  8. I thought I had one of these once, but just googled the book and it was a misprint or something went wrong. Probs a collectors item, not.

  9. this would be funny, especially if you could have cartoon pics of funny Adolfs in it. Which reminds me of this…

  10. Another great use for a type of compostable plastic

  11. This – No Rest For The Dead – 26 authors. So this idea kind of exists. Great. Ain’t read it, I hate crime or scarey stuff in books, life’s hard enough.

  12. Relay reading is a thing too, though not sure if that adds anything to the story. Love the idea that each author passes it on to one of their hero’s to see what they would do with the story. Do these actually exist anywhere though?

  13. Ahh, John Green is in this list. I have linked to his latest best-seller here. He is the perfect guy to start a relay book, then send it to his brother Hank to twist the story up and send it off on a tangent. Who knows who Hank would hand it to, but this would be a great experiment as well as an interesting read.

  14. Collaborative fiction is its name. I like the idea of passing the story on and seeing where it goes. Usually collabs are partnerships but a collaborative author may focus on a specific protagonist or character in the narrative thread, and then pass the story to another writer for further additions or a change in focus to a different protagonist.

  15. AGREED! Stops you wiping your butt on a piece of great literature.
