Why is this man flying a broomstick?

Ref: The Story of the Great American Flying Broomstick, Book 1: Genesis

Follow Dave, an engineer for a large computer company, as he accidentally stumbles into a highly secret organization in London called the Fraternal Order of the Grail (FOG). These elderly gnomes are all that remains of a proud organization that to this day guards the Holy Grail as well as the sole remaining remnant of Moses’ staff. Unbeknownst to FOGgers, they are also sitting on an unusual power of immense proportions—something they’ve never studied. ...


The referenced web page is from my recent copy of This-is-True and I found the idea delightful enough to want to share it with my students and, in fact, anyone else who may have a similar sense of the ridiculous. There are four samples of the book to read. It should be enough to whet your appetite for more.
