So I must have recieved a textbook from the future!!!! |
|
I'm writing a paper for one of my classes right now and I wanted to check the copyright information of my textbook so I can use it as a citation and the damn thing says "Copyright 2008". How is that even possible? I bought the damn thing a month ago and there were clearly 4 months left in 2007! What gives? I feel like I slipped into the Twilight Zone :crazy:

1. Ummm.... dude, it's 2013. Has been for four months. |

What's the last thing you remember?
This is weird, because President Gore eliminated amnesia in 2011, right after eliminating fossil fuel usage and providing universal health care, housing, and education.

So I'm guessing that paper is long overdue, and it does explain why my hair and fingernails are so long and why we have a hovercraft parked outside...There *is* a reason why Ambien has a recommended dosage you should not exceed :P

The law allows us to publish (that is, allow a book to be shipped from the warehouse) books that have the following year's date for the copyright year, but no longer than one year. One publisher started it - it makes the book sound more up-to-date - and now we all have to do it to compete.
on edit: added one very important word!

5. Don't listen to that guy Book Lover |

He will try to tell you all sorts of things to convince you it isn't 2013. Did you remember when Jenna Bush was elected as president? She is such a whore.
