OMG, that first review is funny as hell <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/laugh.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laugh" /><!-- s:lol: --> , I must quote it:
5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful new translation., September 13, 1999
By John S. Ryan "Scott Ryan"
Moshe had all the shoppers of Ha-Matzon-Da'at-Kam called together and said to them:
Hey-everybody! If you are tired-of-reading (the) same old Bible translations,
Read, you must read this-here-new-one!
For it (is) very-good, even if the use-of-hyphens (is) a little-funny,
And even if nobody ever talked-(like)-this, no!
So put your credit-card-number into the buying-place,
And procure-for-you (this) nifty-new-rendering of the Torah of Israel, which (is) very-refreshing!
God saw the book: that it was good.
God said: Here, I give you this way-cool-book, that you may read-of-it;
Buy, you must buy it, so that the vendors of Ha-Matzon-Da'at-Kam may-prosper!
And it was so: the shoppers of Ha-Matzon-Da'at-Kam bought the new-translation,
And they were, yes, pleased-as-punch with (their) purchase, into the ages!
