It always fascinates me how absolutely any postition can be "substantiated" by selective quotes from history, just as you can justify anything you might want to do by finding some particular isolated quote from the Bible (or the Koran, or the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook.) I find much of the recent revisionist thinking about Nazism disturbing, especially the blurring of distinctions among different varieties of totalianarism. Hitler & Stalin may have been equally reprehensible, but their ways of seizing and maintaining power were very different.

So I think a handbook is something you keep handy. I can't think of anything pocket-sized that's called a "handbook;" can you? Birders have their "field guides," printers have their "Pocket Pal," Scrooge McDuck's nephews have their "Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook."

Coming out of the GL ring as data storage thread, which is the greater resource, the GL database or the Jr. Woodchuck guide book?

Barks was a genius. I give him much of the credit for teaching me what fun reading could be, and for broadening my interests -- his stories were full of references to archeology, mythology, and history. (If anyone comes across a copy of the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook in your travels through used book stores, please let me know -- I give all of which I am possessed for it.

Oh Oh -- Did the Reorganized LDS Church ever teach that! Gotta check through my 1911 handy dandy manual and Junior Woodchucks' Guide Book --
Lemesee -- uh, here it is -- "Only the Church based in Salt Lake City and its wannabe, copy-cat imitators teach such things." Drat! and I thought I could feel guilty about that one. Joined the wrong LDS Church! When will I ever learn!!

(P.S. -- You should read the disclaimer in tiny print at the bottom of the ad for Wendy Zephyr's book. Her book has exactly the same sort of ephemeral existence as the "Junior Woodchuck Guidebook" mentioned in the ad. And while Carl Barks was poking fun at scouting, "Wendy Zephyr's" target is a certain line of books from a certain publisher well-known in these circles.)

I think the Junior Woodchuck Manual (better known as the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook) would qualify [as a rational alternative for the Bible]. [...]
It's non-religious (at a guess)
It's written by, for and about ducks
It's comprehensive (I don't recall an instance when the Junior Woodchucks failed to find an answer to a question using the Guidebook)
It's infallible (can a book be infallible, or only people/imaginary beings?) - anyhoo, it's truthful and accurate, whatever that means
It's unabashedly fictional - no excuses (unlike the bible)
If there are inconsistencies no one's found them

The Junior Woodchucks Guidebook, or the Woodchuck book for short, is a fictional book in the Scrooge McDuck universe. The Guidebook appears to contain information and advice on *EVERy[sic] possible* subject.
