The Bible
So there's this book that was written some 2000 years ago. This book has inspired billions of individuals over the millennia. It has provoked people who really like it to go to war with people who hate it. It's also galvanised people with different interpretations of the book to fight eachother to the death. Even today, it remains so popular that people spend their spare time trying to engage complete strangers in conversation about it. And the book ... it's the Bible.

Aged 17 and feeling somewhat bored, I decided to investigate what all the kerfuffle was about so I decided to read the Bible. After about 6 pages, I came to the conclusion that it was one of the most boring books I've ever read so I gave up.

_{Of course, if the opening sentence had been "It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression “As pretty as an airport.”", I might have read all the way to the end.}

Boring?
You just hadn't got to the good bits yet.

Ditto.
There's a lamp-post near my house that'll go out for a couple of minutes if you give it a little kick - I always wanted to do that as someone walked past, but I don't know anyone who would get it :(

It's been far too long since I read those...
