I recently read an article (sorry, forgot where) that said that this is
still one of the biggest problems.  Sometimes people switch boxes,
putting
an expensive bible in a box for a less expensive one.

Must be all those secular humanists and atheists.  Shame on you
Mark--put
those Gideon's back!  (Unless it says that you make take them--I've been
know to highlight some of the grosser passages with my trusty yellow
marker.)

You know, about two years ago, I began working on a project to create 2
pages of *highly condensed* atrocities, contradictions, and pointers to
the dirty parts of the bible.  My plan was to laser print these on
sheets of sticky-backed label stock, and "laminate" the inside cover of
every hotel bible I encountered.

I had to quit that project for the sake of school, but maybe it would be
a good time to revive it.  

Thanks for the motivation,
