actually, on reading this:

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/2310228, one discovers this: http://prodigi.bl.uk/gutenbg/search.asp.

apparently, the UT site is nothing new...

hadn't heard this one:

A man went to a rare book shop and noticed an old bible on display. He struck up a conversation with the book shop owner.

"Yeah, actually, I had an old bible which I threw out last week. It was by someone called Guten... something."

"Not Gutenberg, I hope?"

"Yeah, that's the one."

Upon seeing the look on the book shop owner's face, the man replied:

"Ah, don't worry. It wasn't worth anything. Some guy called Martin had scribbled in it."
