Fun With Footnotes

A while ago, for the first time ever, my blog-post included footnotes.* I really enjoy footnotes! I have read some books where the footnotes are my favorite part.** I especially like when footnotes are used humorously,*** but many times footnotes contain specific information that is quite interesting.**** It is a little bothersome, however, when a book has too many footnotes.***** I've seen cases where the footnotes are long enough to have their own footnotes!******

**For example, Paul Maier's book In The Fullness of Time was a bit dry, but his footnotes were very interesting
***Jason Boyett makes humorous use of footnotes in Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse*******
****In Maier's book, for example, the footnotes mention the leading theories as to the exact day/year of Christ's death********
*****I suppose a blog post could fall under the same critique, although I've never seen footnotes overdone in a blog
******Of course, an actual 2nd set of footnotes was never used, but I think they should have been
