Whoa! Orey the burst of creativity! I liked the Atlas Shrugged one the best. In fact, I am inspired to write Atlas Shagged :P
Heh, it's all inspired by a Joint collaboration ;) And yeah, I like the sound of that title!
I understand the joint collaboration, but never seen one as wicked as this one.
Done with DDP?
Czar,
Joint collaborations are always wicked, I'm yet to see an angelic collaboration.
Nope on the DDP, looks like June only.
man's imagination has no limits...;)
Ms. Rand-Vishwanathan is an epic win!
Neethu,

Hey, I wonder how it will be if ducky and mani(ccw) got together and wrote a book. I'm just letting my imagination run wild here.
