Book Excerpt for the Day


    (The great god Popacapinyo) saved the greatest gift of all for last: The Spirit of Sacrifice.

    That gift he gave to the lemming.

    And he took the lemmings in his hand and spoke:
    “You, and only you, will never know fear or cowardice.  You will never stand alone, because you will all run together.  You will have what all other races lack, and that will make you greatest of all.  You have Lemming Spirit.

    “All the world will be your foe, Rodents of a Thousand Enemies.  And when they catch you, they will kill you.  So you must catch them first.  Attack all the world, lemmings, and show them terror, for they are weak and afraid.  Show them your lemming spirit, and then kill them all!
