- maddla, on 01/29/2008, -82/+1944You could call it a Library!
- geekchic, on 01/29/2008, -14/+695Libraries are so 1990.
In the hyperconnected web 2.0 world in which we live today, I would expect nothing less than an.... iBrary - inactive, on 01/29/2008, -1/+496It is very clear that it is the Sister that's doing all the reading.
- 97thfloor, on 01/29/2008, -4/+446I never come up with the good ideas :(
- Justice101, on 01/29/2008, -9/+416No, no, no. Everyone would pronounce it wrong and say Lie Berry. You'd be much better calling it Blockbooks; with no late fees...which would end up being a lie.
- kgool, on 01/29/2008, -6/+317What a great idea! Steve Jobs will never believe it could work, but I am sure it would be a winner. As long as the "book rental stores" are staffed by girls with their hair up and glasses, but are secretly hot underneath, I see potential.
- SpaceDreamer, on 01/29/2008, -6/+305ohoho! you get the joke!
- jameshighmore, on 01/29/2008, -0/+175Right now, the submitter is sat touching themselves over the awesome pun they put in this headline.
- logstaa, on 01/29/2008, -2/+168"Lisa, we can't afford all these books!"
"Bart, we're just borrowing them."
"Oh," "Gotcha," - Tinu, on 01/29/2008, -10/+169Wow.
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -6/+158Sorry...
"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
- Commissioner of the U.S. Office of Patents - allaboutdatiki, on 01/29/2008, -3/+139That Darn Dewey and his Decimal System ...
- effedup, on 01/29/2008, -8/+131According to Steve Jobs, people don't read books.
- peaceninja, on 01/29/2008, -4/+124we cant implement anything like this, it would be the end of the publishing industry
- timlopez, on 01/29/2008, -1/+107You're almost there.... keep thinking....
- NYC83, on 01/29/2008, -4/+100slightly o/t, but brings up an interesting question that the Freakonomics blog covered..."If Public Libraries Didn’t Exist, Could You Start One Today?" http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/10/i ...
- XeroPhoenix, on 01/29/2008, -7/+96No, Apple would take the idea and let you rent HD books for only 14.99, giving you only 24 hours to read it
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -15/+103you deserve a slap in the face for ruining the joke
- Bostocks, on 01/29/2008, -1/+82I wonder what would happen if I tied a metal key to a kite....
- sarixe, on 01/29/2008, -0/+67and young people too. isn't it wonderful?
- Antitheft, on 01/29/2008, -1/+64You must be kind of embarrassed.
- snoonoo, on 01/29/2008, -2/+53*****
- houndeyex, on 01/29/2008, -1/+511. Donate books to Library
2. ???
3. No profit
There you go. In almost traditional style (without the 4th), just like everyone hates it. - manitoba98xp, on 01/29/2008, -2/+52No, it has to sound more technical and official. How about a "Central Bibliographic Resource Centre"?
- hydrex7, on 01/29/2008, -2/+51No so fast everyone - the idea has merit. The downside of libraries is you have to wait for months to get the most popular releases, and then you have to return them in a week. If there were a Netflix for books, lots of people would be willing to pay a few dollars a month to get the top new books and keep them as long as they want. That's why there's a market for Netflix even though libraries carry DVD's. The same reasons apply.
- Godlike, on 01/29/2008, -3/+48Wow are there really two of them? I think I might have just lost hope forever.
- acidwire90, on 01/29/2008, -0/+43Did you just reply to your own comment?
Fail. - SkippyDoorknob, on 01/29/2008, -1/+41You could sue both the kite manufacturer and the key manufacturer after getting zapped.
- BirdCatcher, on 01/29/2008, -1/+40How about a book suppository? ha!
- NoStoppingUs, on 01/29/2008, -0/+39today, i went to mcdonalds and bought a double cheeseburger meal.
and they gave me an extra double cheesburger.
so i ate it. - racer108, on 01/29/2008, -5/+44I think I'll visit the lie-berry to-morrey.
- MalachiConstant, on 01/29/2008, -1/+39It's Gold, Jerry! It's Gold!
- fasda, on 01/29/2008, -4/+41How about a book depository.
- chris9902, on 01/29/2008, -0/+36*golf clap*
- cbdgr, on 01/29/2008, -0/+32As I just started college this week, I can relate. Only problem with that is libraries don't have school books. Then theres the fact that they change the edition every ***** semester so you cant use used books. Change a few page numbers here and there, cut down a forest, and were good to go.
- NeoNightmareX, on 01/29/2008, -2/+34Source?
- Grumps, on 01/29/2008, -3/+34Steve Jobs wouldn't get into book business!
- Kbennett, on 01/29/2008, -2/+32Not bad, but we need something we can market. "Library" just doesn't have enough oomph.
- Phyltre, on 01/29/2008, -0/+30There's no underneath. Girls with their hair up and wearing glasses ARE HOT. ...well, some of them.
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -0/+30If I missed the joke this badly, I'd be read all over with embarassment
Now, scrub your eyes to try to get that nasty pun out - spidamonkey, on 01/29/2008, -5/+33That's a stupid socialist idea
- mooseofshadows, on 01/30/2008, -1/+28And then when there are late fees they would say, "Oh, your face is red like a strawbrerry!"
- Markpdotcom, on 01/30/2008, -0/+25Ouch! No hardbacks please!
- rudy23, on 01/29/2008, -2/+26so because its on reddit it cant be on digg?
- BogusJimmy, on 01/30/2008, -2/+25I honestly didn't see the pun until you pointed it out.
- louiedog, on 01/29/2008, -0/+23Large print?
- inactive, on 01/29/2008, -1/+23Unless of course you are using an RSS feed...
- kcdstudios, on 01/30/2008, -0/+22***** the BPAA!
- bagboyrebel, on 01/29/2008, -2/+24Well I read that as sarcasm, but apparently nobody else did.
- KloroFormd, on 01/29/2008, -1/+22And where are you right now?
