I'm My Own Grandpa book concerns

Is this book written with grammatical errors and missing parts deliberately? Or is it not finished?

Books have the titles centered, at least in all the ones I've come across.
This one doesn't. [url=http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3871/ywil.jpg]Screenshot[/url]

It just looks unfinished. The first joke isn't even answered.

Why did the Dark Elf cross the road? 
 
 
How many orcs does it take to light a torch? 
Depends. Is an orc is doing the counting? 
 
What is green and hops and sizzles on lava? 
an Orc Acrobat 
 
If a Wood Elf mime falls in a forest, who cares? 
 
 
If you drop a Khajiit head-first from a great height, will it land on its feet? 
Not if you cut off the feet first.

The book is actually from the official Entertainers plug-in so its contents can be blamed on Bethesda. I agree that the title could be centered for a more pleasing aesthetic, but otherwise I'd leave Bethesda's stuff as it is.

And personally I don't think the first question really needs to be answered.

Doesn't need to be asked either, that first question. How about leaving Bethesda's stuff alone even more by not using the book?

At least not in an Ancestral Tomb...! [insertrant.bookplacement]

If it's from an official plug in then why is it also being used by Tamriel-Rebuilt? Seems redundant.

Mayhaps because it allows us to place the item without needlessly loading up a superfluous .esp every time we want to place the book.

Ah, now it makes sense. Thanks, Thrignar Fraxix.

This lame excuse of a book will no longer be included in the next release (it's been replaced by one of the good texts from TES4).

Based solely off its title, I always assumed this book had some kind of terrible time travel plot about someone literally becoming their own grandpa. It says a lot that this would actually be more interesting than what this lame book is actually about. I'm glad we're excising it.
