Product Description

DESCRIPTION: There are over 13 million people in the world currently blogging, but what about the blogs written by the iconic men and women who (unfortunately) died before the Internet was even invented? In this witty and original take on the most important technological development since spam, THE LOST BLOGS offers hundreds of blogs from the most famous minds in history, detailing their hysterically personal (and impersonal) revelations, such as: John Lennon's thoughts after meeting a young woman named Yoko Ono (and her strange interest in the Beatles' publishing rights). Tips of the trade from Jesus Christ's carpentry blog, including how to build a combination water and wine rack. Shakespeare's treatment for a new play about two princes who misplace their horse and carriage and spend the entire play trying to locate it. How a stray hot dog nearly derailed Ghandi's hunger strike. Jim Morrison's original lyrics to Light My Fire (what does smell like a burning tire?). And the missing two cents from everyone else who matters, proving there's no such thing as "too much information."

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical Tom Foolery..., April 29, 2006

By	H.F. Peterman "The Seinfeldian" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

My copy of "The Lost Blogs was just delivered this morning. I couldn't put it down.

Jesse James calls his blog "the scribblin space". Alexander the Great calls his "The Greatest Blog in the History of Blogs". Even Jesus Christ loves to have your e-mail "bless his inbox". And who would have thought with all the super computers available at NASA, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would resort to "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to see who would be first to walk on the moon

It looks like famous historical people have no problem getting into the blog phenomenon. I think Davidson is a demented genius. He gets to the fake REAL stories behind the stories. Great read, though I can't help thinking Davidson might be suffering from a case of historical figure schizophrenia.

Just read the book and as expected, I was not disappointed. This guy is just plain funny and has an odd and humorous take on everything. Great read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A jubilee of blogging fun!!!, April 29, 2006

This book is hilarious. If anyone had a doubt about the power of blogging on the course of history all they need to do is read this book and ponder how different the world would be.

I know if Freud had been a blogger I'd have the rss feed to his comment section up on my bloglines.

In a nutshell, Paul Davidson has outdone himself. Absolutely brilliant!
