Monks make millions flogging powdered ink in cyberspace
Quote:Its early morning in the dense woods of western Wisconsin, and inside a remote abbey at the end of a winding dirt road, seven monks are praying. Father Bernard McCoy, an intense, watchful man draped in black and white robes, bows before the halogen-lit sanctuary. He has been a cloistered monk for 17 years and believes strongly in silence, humility, and prayer. Today he is contemplating the adage that we were born of dust and to dust we will return. While that may be true, McCoy has also realized that you can make a fortune packaging and marketing a different kind of dust one never mentioned in the Bible. full article: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.07....html?pg=2 |
