Five Best Places to Buy Cheap Textbooks First, check scribd.com for your book(more later). I just bought a book off of amazon, and I think that this article missed a VERY important part.. many of their books will display how much you can sell your book BACK to them for, and until what date(I can sell my book back by dec 31st and total cost of a $130 book will be $20 once sold back). Also, note, you do NOT need to buy your book from them for the guarantee, that book is just worth that much until that date. I am more than a bit upset about e-books though, they cost as much as rentals and they have expiration dates, you can only copy/print so much, and everyone I found can NOT be used on a mobile device(kindle, ipad, etc). I did however(not sure how legal it was) download my anthropology textbook for free from [www.scribd.com] and it doesn't expire, all I had to do was upload something not copywritten that I own the rights to.. saved at least $60-130

6 Insane Coincidences You Won't Believe Actually Happened America's Freak Luck During the Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway may be remembered as one of the most spectacular naval battles in history and one of the huge turning points in the Pacific theater, but it started out as a pure clusterfuck for the Americans. Despite going into battle with most of Japan's game plan in their pocket thanks to American codebreakers/Bothan spies, the U.S. Navy had little to show for it in the early hours of June 4, 1942. Where it Gets Weird: There was one squadron of American dive bombers lead by Lieutenant Commander C. His squadron started dropping like flies until, in an act of sheer luck that would make even J.K. Where it Gets Even Weirder: While finding the ships at all was luck, by some kind of ridiculous freak luck McClusky's squadron arrived at the precise moment when all three Japanese carriers were reloading and rearming their aircraft. It'd be like this happening four times, and all in one battle. ...when he wasn't busy being a pimp.
