Book Description
A Cambridge man wakes to find his home rendered strange, as if everything in it has been moved a fraction of a centimeter while he slept. In an irrational state he flees to the nearby international airport and purchases a ticket, certain that he is outrunning some horribly present danger. At the security checkpoint, the scanner's monitor clearly displays a cylindrical bomb in his carry-on luggage, a bag that he hastily had packed with traveling essentials and has at no point in memory left out of sight.

Napalm & Silly Putty
Author: George Carlin
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0786871598
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
A hilarious new collection of razor-sharp observations from the New York Times bestselling author of Brain Droppings. Few comics make the transition from stage to page as smoothly or successfully as George Carlin. Brain Droppings spent a total of 40 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and this new one is certain to tickle even more ribs (and rattle a few more cages) with its characteristically ironic take on life's annoying universal truths. In Napalm & Silly Putty, Carlin doesn't steer clear of the tough issues, preferring instead to look life boldly in the eye to pose the questions few dare to ask: How can it be a spy satellite if they announce on TV that it's a spy satellite? Why do they bother saying "raw sewage"? Do some people cook that stuff? In the expression "topsy-turvy," what exactly is meant by "turvy"? And he makes some startling observations, including: Most people with low self-esteem have earned it. Guys don't seem to be called "Lefty" anymore. Most people don't know what they're doing, and a lot of them are really good at it. Carlin also waxes wickedly philosophical on all sorts of subjects, including: KIDS--They're not all cute. In fact, if you look at them closely, some of them are rather unpleasant looking. And a lot of them don't smell too good either. DEATH ROW--If you're condemned to die they have to give you one last meal of your own request. What is that all about? A group of people plan to kill you, so they want you to eat something you like? Add to the mix "The Ten Most Embarrassing Songs of All Time," "The 20th Century Hostility Scoreboard," and "People I Can Do Without," and you have an irresistibly insouciant assortment of musings, questions, assertions, and assumptions guaranteed to please the millions of fans waiting for the next Carlin collection--and the millions more waiting to discover this comic genius.

Even though Kyle's own private investigator fi nds signs of a bomb at the crash site, and additional evidence points to another suspect, the FBI and FAA are both ready to rush to judgment. Things are looking grim until an anonymous benefactor sends his beautiful daughter, Nancy, with an offer to pay Kyle's legal expenses. Kyle's legal team offers additional evidence, but the FBI still can't be dissuaded from pursuing its case. Kyle is now desperate to prove his innocence. But whether or not he lives or dies by lethal injection may all come down to whether or not the prosecutor realizes that his own government is withholding evidence, and digs deeper to learn the truth.

It is the Brahmaputra that greets you when you first enter Assam. Its meandering presence has shaped its terrain and left its silt on the stories that are passed on from one generation to another.

The Magic of The Brahmaputra will ferry you to the Northeast, its culture and quirks, food and festivals, the rhythm and restiveness, the vibes and the verdancy, its past and present and everything else that envelops it with a uniqueness seen and experienced through the eyes of someone who arrived there as a stranger and took leave as a lifelong lover.
