Dilbert - Blurb

You know those personal endorsements you see on the back cover of books? Those are called blurbs. Scott Adams has a contest in which his blog readers can come up with good humorous blurb for his new book. "STICK TO DRAWING COMICS, MONKEY-BRAIN!" The book is about the interesting posts and comments in his blog. The contest is only for US residents. The post had 512 comments. I didn't have enough patience to read all of them. These are the few good ones.
Just to keep you guys guessing. One of them is my blurb.

This book proves Scott Adams is a genius, he not only makes money on his writings, but on other peoples too.
If you don't like Scott Adams' work on the Dilbert comic strip, then chances are you aren't even reading this.
Nothing you hear or read can do this book justice. Not even a quote said by some random stranger on its back cover.
Adams' conversion from internet to paper is a refreshing twist for both lovers of his blog and people who hate trees.
The monkeys stopped dancing and stared in shocked silence as the first edition of this book rolled off the presses.
Ever wondered about the meaning of LIFE?
Ever contemplated the BIG PICTURE?
Ever ruminated over WHY?
Ever reflected on your place in the universe?
Ever speculated on HOW and WHERE?
Well this book has nothing to do with these questions. Have fun reading it.
I read this book 1000 years before it was written;
Now you know why I'm always laughing.
Buddha
If you don't read this book, you'll die! Of course, all of us will die eventually, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Don't wait for the movie to pass up this opportunity to waste your money.

Update: I asked you suggestions about IT in 2010. I didn't get enough thought stimulation to write it yet. Will surely try.
