   I like black people
  but as the old joke goes I can't eat a whole one.Quote:An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cook-book after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of black pepper.Penguin Group Australia had to reprint 7,000 copies of Pasta Bible last week, the Sydney Morning Herald has reported. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8627335.stm.I bet someone found a gift wrapped pepper mill on their desk the morning after this was discovered.

Yea, certain words in different languages can be pronounced as racist ones. So?   ;  The really interesting info behind it is that it reveals the return of sales on Penguin books. :-)If reprinting 7.000 copies costs $20.000, that's $2.85 per copy. The book sells for $20 in the shelf, which is about 7 times more expensive, or a 87.75% gross profit margin, respectively.Fine, subtract a few percent for paying the author and such, but still... not bad at all (what do authors get, maybe 3-4%?).I didn't think you could make *real* money with something as old as words printed on paper these days.
