So, I go looking for a picture of Sun Tzu to illustrate this post and guess who pops up. I have no idea what the story is behind it. It doesn't look like it's been photoshopped, and it appears on what seems to be a serious site about the Chinese strategist. (Scroll down and it's on the right side, under "Women Warriors."
All this is a distraction from the exciting news that the scholars at Something Awful have found an early draft of Sun Tzu's famous manuscript:
Master Sun said:If your men hear a strange sound
In the middle of the night
The best tactical maneuver available
Is to have everyone split up
And wander aimlessly in the woods
By themselves
While yelling "Hello?"
I think that Jack Layton will definitely want to read it.

I wanna know how much interpretation is in the version she's reading.
The Art of War is barely a pamphlet.
But I go back to Jonson, it's like a dog walking on its hind legs, not interesting because it's done, but because it's even attempted.
