This sounds like the back cover. Is that copyrighted? DevastatorIIC 09:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I am guessing that it is in fact the back cover (it is not released yet). Since this is information meant to promote the book, I figured I should add it here, so I have now linked the source of the information. This should be covered under the DMA as educational use. EDIT: I am dieing to get this book, so I will add more to an appropriate Wiki entry while I am reading / when I am done reading, haha --Moeron 14:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beta Male[edit]

(content below taken from Beta Male, which now redirects here)

Beta Male is a term used by Christopher Moore to describe his character Charlie Asher in the book ‘A Dirty Job’. A Beta Male (unlike an Alpha Male) are the imagination of the group. Beta Males look to the future to avoid possible death in this world, were as an Alpha Male will run straight at [death] with no fear. In other words, while an Alpha Male goes to battle, the Beta Male weights to see which Alpha Male dies, so he can move in on the new widow.
