Hiss hiss bang bang
It started out as a joke, but somehow or other Snakes on a Sudoku turned into a real book -- and an official movie tie-in, no less:
(Also available from Amazon.)
Posted by Francis at 11:47 AMUnbelievable. Congratulations and well done.

Posted by: RichM at August 2, 2006 01:08 PMSweet! I hope they sell copies at the movie...I'm planning on going opening day
Posted by: Jangler at August 2, 2006 01:24 PMBah. I'm starting to believe the makers of this film care more about publicity and hype than about good, old-fashioned storytelling.
Posted by: Rick at August 2, 2006 02:45 PMLook at those motherfuckin' snakes in those motherfuckin' sudoku!
Posted by: Tyler at August 2, 2006 05:19 PMMore importantly, is it too late to edit a "motherfuckin' sudoku" line into the movie? i mean, at least ONE of the passengers has to be doing one, right?
anyway: hahahaha! i love how the internet makes the absurd real.
Posted by: L'el at August 2, 2006 09:45 PMYou are absolutely, vaingloriously shameless, and gol darnit if I'd have it any other way.
Posted by: Lorinne at August 2, 2006 11:22 PMWow. Just...wow. Well done, however you pulled it off.
I'm vaguely impressed that a movie would even have an official puzzle book.
Posted by: Kath at August 3, 2006 08:44 AMYou're such a Hollywood sellout. I mean, Will Shortz and his documentarymates tried their damndest to be Hollywood sellouts with Wordplay, but you're really showing them how to do it.
I suppose next February's too soon to expect an Oscar category for Best Movie Tie-in Puzzle Book?
Posted by: Orange at August 3, 2006 07:31 PMThat is outstandingly outstanding. I can't even think of something funny to say. Just, wow. Awesome.
