From back cover: From the notorious Internet troublemaker who brought the world the explosively popular "Overdue Account" ... "Please Design a Logo for Me, With Pie Charts, For Free," ... and the staggeringly popular "Missing Missy" ... comes this profoundly funny collection of irreverent Internet mischief and comedy.
Featuring every one of [David] Thorne's viral successes from 27bslash6, [this] will keep you laughing -- and, indeed, crying -- until Thorne's next stroke-of-genius prank. Or hilarious hoax. Or almost-stint in jail.

I read recently of a "qualified" chiropractor who has been using distance healing for quite some time, claiming he can heal you from his living room.
