Oh Please. The bible has been for pinheads for over 2,000 years.
Oh, and of course, the sequel would require another pinhead.

Because the way to get young people interested in anything is to talk to them about God.
Dear Mods,
Can we please delete #3’s comment. I don’t mind profanity, but this guy is just trolling.
#1,2,4… Well, people who know how to make pinhead sized chip inscribed with 300000 words decided to write the Bible text on it out of all written material available…
You don’t think that maybe the choice of the Bible had more to do with it’s publicity value than as a statement of their spiritual leanings, or as the ‘word of god”?
JOY OF COOKING INSCRIBED ON PIN, NEWS AT 11
No, I don’t.
You mean they came out with a special Bible for Democrats?
It’s good that “scientists” are wasting their research time and money on inane printing projects. Far be it for them to spend that money and time actually making something useful and helpful to humanity.
Somehow, when I saw the headline this morning, I knew I’d find it here, later.
#12, Jim, Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technology has a wide range of applications, including solid state device mfg. For a sample, just google “focused ion beam application”.
I’ll bet that book is tough to read; somehow I don’t think my “cheaters” will help much. 🙂
#14 — yes, I am familiar with the applications of the technology; they obviously think scribing is its best use. My point being, why aren’t they using this to design and build interesting and useful applications for it, rather than inane crap? I’d rather read that they built a circuit design that is 100x smaller than current designs and how they implement something useful from it, like microscopic cameras or skin-cell-sized RFID tags.
Instead we get books that can only be read by microscopes. Joy to the world.
The bible, eh?
Why not a book which actually has an attraction to young people? Even one of the Harry Potter books makes more sense then the bible.
It is only because they printed the relevant sections they managed to get it all in.
#15, Jim, I agree, if this was a “proof of concept,” they could have picked a much more relevant demonstration.
