I think somebody at Google Books was a little bit bored while working on this text: http://books.google.com/books?id=go05AAAAcAAJ&pg=PR8-IA1#v=onepage&q&f=false

FIFY.

I was once asked by a philosophy professor what I though of the readings we were assigned on Kant.  My response was pretty much, " I had no damn clue what he was trying to say, but I'm sure it was very nice."

Kinda.  Of course, it will be preserved for all time with some janky filthy fingernails still in frame.  When mankind dies off and a new species achieves sentience, only to find our knowledge and technology housed in our supercomputers, they'll think "Gods, look at those dirty fingernails!  What Neanderthals."

I thought Google had machines to scan the books.  It's kinda mind boggling if they scan each set of pages manually O.o
