His observations about what those guys were like after the experience when they got back was pretty interesting. And I agree about the Amazon interviews -- I read one about a Java book once that complained that there was so much computer stuff in it. There was a great sarcastic review of an Uncle Milton's Ant Farm toy, but I can't find it on the Amazon site anymore (it was there as of about a year ago, but all I can find now is <a href="http://johnmckay.blogspot.com/2004/05/educational-toys-this-is-top-review-at.html" rel="nofollow">this reference to it</a>). Read some of the reviews about the Ant Farm on the Amazon site, too -- it's hilarious what people think they're getting into when they bring a little box of ants into their home. They get out? They bite? They die? Who knew? One star for you!
