Perhaps Fark needs to hit back and create an even odder book.

"It's a bit runny."

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-miligram Containers of Fromage Frais



/ aime du fromage vilain

Damn. That's what I was going to name MY book.

Back to the drawing table.

The boat sinks at the end.

I don't get it.

What happened? What happened? He spoke French!!

Aren't stories like this written so Pocketninja can comment on them? Where are you buddy?

Seen this before, like two maybe three months ago. Guy wrote a program to take in data sets and 'write' a book detailing what the information means, averages, changes from year to year, etc. He has like 40,000 'publishing' credits due to it, even though he only ever actually prints a copy of the 'book' if someone orders it.

A disappointing result really considering none of the choices could measure up to last year's winner.

/it really was the most brillant title ever created

Introduction to Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Criminology: How Girl get Pragnent and Babby is Formed, and Why to Do Way with Instain Mother

read that as:

And the award for the oldest book title of the year goes to... "The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-miligram Containers of Fromage Frais"

which of course would have been such a weird coincidence that the books title has THIS years number in it.

OMELETTE DU FROMAGE!!!!

/chaud

I figured it might be amusing to send as a gift, but it's Seven hundred and ninety five dollars.

If everyone who was going to buy this book, bought 8 bills worth of 60 milligram containers of Fromage Frais. It's outlook wouldn't be all that bad over the next few years.

It's better than "For Whom The Bell Tolls". Really.

There is a book in our office entitled "Blood and Other Body Fluids" which makes me chuckle every time I see it.

I think "Living With Crazy Buttocks" should have won.

This book contains far more useful information:

A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates

Yep.. A 600 page book of random numbers.

FTFA...

Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring

That's weird? That's a book I could probably use in my job.

As for Fromage Frais... WTF ?


/designs products that handle corrosive fluids
//must not be many of us out there

Strip and Knit would have won if it were a pop up book

buried_alive: It's better than "For Whom The Bell Tolls". Really.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

safeinsane: Best. Book. Title. EVAR.

No, that belongs to Everybody Poops.

Lucius_Apuleius: This book contains far more useful information:

A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates

Yep.. A 600 page book of random numbers.

i've never understood the need for a table of random numbers, if they are ordered/classified sequentially (00001, 00002) kind of defeats the purpose.

lucky numbers: 2, 8, 19, 23, 31, 37

CORN!!

I like Philip M Parker. Her also wrote

I'm pretty sure it has been on Fark before, but definitely check out the linked review if you haven't seen it before. It's fantastic.

Actually, he has "Written" over 200,000 books.

English, motherfarker, do you speak it?

I'm writing a novel. Working title: "Corn I Have Loved"

A lovely treatise on the power of positive-sphincking.

PS Added bonus; if all goes well, I'll be able to use my anus as a pencil sharpener.... .

/lmao

I had no idea that they're packaging diaries in cheese now. Man, I guess I'm just out of touch.

olapbill: safeinsane: Best. Book. Title. EVAR.

No, that belongs to Everybody Poops.

This book is a runner up then. Why anyone would pay $250 for a 'used' copy of this book is beyond me.
The Romance of Proctology (new window)

I used to go to this thrift store that sold all the books you could fit into a grocery bag for one dollar, and I'd pick up some obscure stuff just for the hell of it. I remember getting "Political Systems of Highland Burma" and "The Year in Dentistry 1939". Those titles seem like "War and Peace" compared to the cheese forcast book.

Meh, I get weirder stuff every month or so in the mini-newsletter from the Annals of Improbable Research, the same people who bring you the annual Ig Nobel awards.

"Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying"

Ah, here's this month's improbable research:

"The Effect of Arm Crossing on Persistence and Performance," Ron Friedman and Andrew J. Elliot, European Journal of Social Psychology, vol. 38, no. 3, pp. 449-61.

The authors, at the University of Rochester, report:

"Experiment 1 found that inducing participants to cross their
arms led to greater persistence on an unsolvable anagram.
Experiment 2 revealed that arm crossing led to better performance
on solvable anagrams, and that this effect was mediated by
greater persistence."

K.A. Khalili, International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine,

I do much the same thing, I have a copy of "Tooth Carving Manual" by that method. It's basically a book on how to carve individual false teeth for orthodontists full of nicely drawn renderings of teeth.

I kept it in the bathroom right next to the toothbrushes. It creeped some people out. Mission accomplished.

Interested...

Yup. It's wood.
