A new book entitled, "The absolute non-significance of two totally differnt things" is due to be released by Totally Bogus Books. The tome attempts to join oil and water into some sort of nonexistent symbiotic relationship that gives meaning to lame existence in a cold, dark, but yet perfect for human life universe.
