According to the Book of Ubizmo itself, it is the holy unswerving and
hopelessly accurate and correct "literal" word of Ubizmo, the most holy
god of shoe polish and wax museums, AND that those who say otherwise are
wrong.  There!  That's even clearer than the Bible.  Not only does MY book
claim to be the only real truth, it also tells me that YOU are a liar for
proclaiming otherwise.  (And it predicts that you would do so---a prophecy
come true!!!  Absolute proof of the accuracy of the Book of Ubizmo.)

This belongs in some other newsgroup, but I don't know what they're calling it
this week.
