This is a blog that shall document the reading of Moby-Dick, or: The Whale by me and some friends of mine. --SHARK
Still not dawning on you fools that you just formed a book club. Fags. --TURD
I think Moby Dick is a good choice because it's a solid must-read, none of us have read it, it's a manly book, it's easy to get, I have a copy that Bain gave me for Christmas. --HIP E.

16. "Pythagorean maxim": sixt century BCE philosopher Pythagoras advised against eating beans to avoid flatulance (or "winds from astern").
-Longman Critical Edition

-Hip E.
Beans Beans the musical fruit...
The more you eat the more you toot...
The more you toot the better you feel
So why not eat beans for every meal!
