Wait what.. that makes no sense. I haven't seen this movie; was it a satire or like a fourth wall break or some sort of a joke?

Wow, and here I thought the writer of that book, Homer Simpson, didn't exist!!
I’m also in possession of original hand-written letters by Jesus Christ himself, inside the original envelope complete with the “par avion” stamp that my neighbour gifted me.
What’s that about ?
Glasses make you more clever. This is why I wear a higher prescription than I actually need.
It's okay because when your friend decides to give you a makeover so you can be "hot" they just need to take your glasses off after they fix your hair. It's fine really. No issues at all. Why did you have them on in the first place?
Left end of the bell curve: wow signed first edition of the Illiad is so rare
Middle of the bell curve: haha she's stupid because Homer is from ancient Greece
Right end of the bell curve: wow signed first edition of the Illiad is so rare
(The Illiad as a modern translated work can have multiple editions from an author)
She obviously meant the first edition Penguin classics paperback.
Actual Right End: that's not what you'd refer to as a first edition of The Illiad, unless you're an idiot
You say, as you spell 'The Illiad' in English, the earliest instance of which was translated in the 1600s.
Nice self report
Further right of the bell curve than you just to win the silly semantics game you're playing: if you're calling it "The Illiad" and not "Ἰλιάς" you are defacto referring to the book titled "The Illiad" which is the English translation which indeed had a much more recent publication date than the original work.
I can get you a signed edition of the Bible right now as long as you don’t care which company printed it or who signs it
buy bible, sign out myself, eBay, profit
Or which edition it is.
op said first edition, not signed
I can do a first edition of the Bible. No guarantees on which edition though.
Ok, pick a scroll any scroll
They just a word
Which Pope?
Alexander Pope.
Original Author
Do not steal
Actual bell curve: a eugenics source book also the basis for Idiocracy so you decide I guess.
Jesus actually wrote a book! I got it, he signed it. His cursive is really becoming
What's like the coolest, most impressive literary book you can think of? But it has to be something most idiots will recognize.
I don't know, The Iliad?
Awesome. I need a rare book for this screenplay I'm writing. "First edition, signed copy..."
every copy can be a signed copy, just get a pen
This is an AI style blunder.
That's nothin', can't beat my signed first draft of the Mahabharata, before it was ever even sent to an editor!
To my darling Candy.
