{"product_id":"2940044319646","title":"The Eternal Question","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy are we here? I had a chance meeting with a strange old man the other day that claimed to know. His answer makes a frightening amount of sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI looked at the paper with a sigh. Some nimrod quit his job because the number 666 was on his W2. He was quoted as saying “no amount of money is worth my soul.” I put the paper down on the diner counter as I mumbled to myself.\u003cbr\u003e“So glad I live in the modern age.”\u003cbr\u003eThe old man next to me turned and looked me up and down with a critical eye. “What was that?”\u003cbr\u003e“Sometimes I think this whole world has gone crazy.” I said to him as I pointed to the article in the paper.\u003cbr\u003eHe picked up the paper and scanned the article with a slight grin. “It does seem rather random on the surface, doesn’t it?”\u003cbr\u003e“On the surface?” Out of the frying pan and into the fire I thought to myself. I had gone from reading about a religious nut to talking to a conspiracy nut. I wasn’t sure which was worse.\u003cbr\u003eHe laughed out loud as I looked at him, the laugh a sound somewhere between all-knowing and all evil. I almost got up to move down the counter and he froze me with a twinkle in his eyes. I was stuck looking over the edge into a bottomless pit of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renaissance Redneck Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107864658160,"sku":"2940044319646","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044319646_p0.jpg?v=1763661709","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044319646","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
