I was looking around Fry’s Electronics the other day in the book section, hoping to find some really compelling book on Web Services, when I chanced upon a copious stack of Freemasons for Dummies sitting between a Java Programmer certification guide and a text on Python (programming, not Monty, not snake).
I suppose, if you listen to the Loony Brigade, you could make the leap that since they claim the Freemasons, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati and the alien reptilians bloodlines control the entire population of this planet, this might be an appropriate book to place in the “programming” section.
Clearly, based on quantity, Fry’s certainly thinks there’s going to be an upsweep of Freemason programming.
With a little more research, I see that Dan Brown has got a new book coming out where he uses the Freemasons as a plot device. Looks like people’s knowledge of history is about to get further warping.
I’ve not read Freemasons for Dummies, but if you want more information, check out the info on Amazon.com. You can follow the picture link below.
I haven’t read the book yet myself, I’m saving it for the summer, and are you really supposed to read the “…For Dummies” books anyway? I found my copy at Fry’s too, but bought it because it had a $5.00 rebate that made it’s $19.00 price better at $14.00.
My guess is your right, it was a volume thing, but you never know, maybe they (the publishers) are running out of tingsa to write about.

I’ve always thought the “for dummies” name is demeaning, but I’ve done computer support for far, far too many years and I’ve heard dozens of people refer to themselves as too dumb to understand computers. So, inasmuch as computer topics go, I suppose I can understand the idea behind the title.
But really, they’ve milked that title way too far with this one. What’s next? “Village Idiocy for Dummies”
