Yesterday while I was catching up on my lovely Google Reader<\/a> feeds, I came across this post<\/a> from friend and fellow ward-goer Jana Riess.<\/p>\n

Jana is a book editor for Publishers Weekly as well as the author of several books, including Mormonism for Dummies<\/a> and What would Buffy do<\/a>. She is in a heated race for the coveted title of “Most Famous Person that I know”, along with vaunted minor league broadcaster Jim Tocco.<\/p>\n

Although Jim would I’m sure like me to point out that in the very important category of “Number of Wikipedia pages”, the result is <\/p>\n

Jim: 1<\/a>
Jana: 0<\/p>\n

Anyway, that was a very long-winded way to mention that in reading Jana’s blog yesterday she showed a picture of Britney Spears holding a book with Jesus on the cover and wanted to know what the name of the book was. She offered a $15 Amazon GC to the first person to get the right answer. <\/p>\n

So off I set. Actually to be fair, my Google-fu is not even the most powerful of anyone I know. There are a few other people I’d say would be better. But nevertheless, my Google-fu is…significant. First off I did a search for britney spears jesus book<\/a>. 2nd result gave me this<\/a> and in the comments I found the right answer<\/a>. A quick search on Amazon found the same cover and the gift card was mine.<\/p>\n

I emailed Jana afterwards, thanking her for the GC, and telling her that in the future that she could just email me as I enjoy opportunities to practice my Google-fu, and that next time I wouldn’t even charge her!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So, dear readers, what about it? Do you think you can stump me? Bring it on. If you post a quest in the comments I’ll give it a whirl. But be fair – it has to be somewhere on the Internet or it’s cheating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
