Title: Semi-Off Topic: Interesting Discovery on Amazon.com
Post by: ClaudeNorth on March 27, 2012, 12:41:45 AM
Found this on Amazon.com:  http://www.amazon.com/The-Barnabas-Factor-Aubrey-Johnson/dp/0892255382/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332808157&sr=8-4 (http://www.amazon.com/The-Barnabas-Factor-Aubrey-Johnson/dp/0892255382/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332808157&sr=8-4)

I realize, of course, that this book is about Saint Barnabas, and I certainly do not mean to be disrespectful of the book or its author, but the description and reviews of the book do take on a humorous tone when read from a DS fan's point of view.

OMG yes. Can you just imagine if people took on the example set by the original show's Barnabas?!  [snow_shocked]  [snow_cheesy]

My favorite line from one of the reviews:  "Along the way, (the author) challenges us to think, behave and live like Barnabas."

Lol, that's perfect! Barnabas taught me that we are absolutely not responsible for anything we did in the past (whether that's one hundred years, or five minutes ago); if someone remembers what you did in the past and might use it against you, they give you no choice but to kill them.

Very interesting--thanks for the link! How sand ironic for our Barnabas that his name means "son of consolation."
