	The term "blurb" was created in 1907 by the humorist G. Burgess,
	who made fun of the ridiculous texts on book jackets by creating
	one with an even more ridiculous text about Miss Belinda Blurb.

Yes, I've heard that elsewhere as well.  The edition of the Oxford

have a slang dictionary *somewhere* here at home, but it'd take me a
