Dung beetle yet to achieve intelligence
Shelby Cobras at Illogical Contraption Blog writes:
We’ve all Google searched the word dinosauroid, correct?
Of course we have.
Then tells us about the blog Tetrapod Zoology by Darren Naish that we have discussed here not long back, because Naish reviews Who Lies Sleeping?. Indeed the review is the subject of Cobras’s page at Illogical Contraption. Cobras says:
Naish calls attention to another, far more obscure book and writer—Mike Magee and his paranoid 1993 pseudoscience rant Who Lies Sleeping?
It is a viewpoint and style of assessment all the more remarkable for the fact that Cobras confesses he has not read the book:
Long story short, this book sounds amazing but is impossible to find. Shiny nickels for anyone with any sort of information on where I can get a copy.
It brings us back to his first sentence about Googling the word dinosauroid, because it is something he cannot have done, or done only with Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” option, because otherwise he would have found the book, right, and maybe this website, eh? Illogical Contraption writers are fond of the word shit. Maybe they’re going to tell us the story of the intelligent dung beetles.
Anyway, Mr Cobras, if you Google a bit more effectively, you ought to be able to find your way to this website, where you can order the book at a discount if you wish, but you’ll have to pay shipping. Or, you could go to Amazon and order the book where, at amazon.co.uk, you can reserve a new copy for £7.19, a whole 80p less than the normal price ot £7.99. Unfortunately, Amazon has for a long time said it is out of stock and so we get no orders from them, potential readers doubtless being put off by the anticipated delay, unless, of course, Amazon UK is not willing to order single copies. But it says they have six second hand copies from £4.
Amazon US at amazon.com have five second hand copies from $44.33, but a big saving can be had by buying them direct from us, but we require cash to be sent before we send out the books. We are too obscure to make it worthwhile getting electronic card facilities from a bank. Yeah, I know, we should get PayPal, but it had such a bad reputation a few years back, it put us off. When we recover, doubtless we’ll use it. But give us time. We’re dinosaurs, they keep telling us!
It means the fall back is to order from us direct, but as we are impossible to find, Google being too hard to use properly for the Illogical Contraptioners, we will not be getting any orders from the dung beetles—alas! they have not yet evolved to the intelligent stage.

You assholes sure know how to sell a product!
I would agree with you, Cobras, except for the complete absence of a link to buy the book anywhere on this blog. I had to backtrack to the host site to find THIS:

Hey Magimike–you’re welcome. You can return the favor by giving me the heads up when the Old Ones awake to reclaim the Earth.
What a great resource!
