Blank Bible & New Schedule

Are your margins too narrow in your "wide margin" Bible? Have you already filled up Romans (or Galatians, Ephesians, Hebrews, etc.) with notes? I think I have found the perfect solution.
Make your own Blank Bible!
In short, you cut the cover off your Bible (this has just terrified some of you with thoughts of eternal perdition), rip off the binding glue, clamp it between a couple boards of wood, and saw off the edge of the binding. Now you cut a ream of paper in half to provide 1,000 blank pages. Stuff a blank page after each page in your Bible, and place the extras where you will need them the most (probably the aforementioned epistles). Now break them into three or four stacks (two or three for OT, one for NT) and take them to Kinko's for punching and binding. Tadaa! All the margin you need!
Also, since I recently purchased Max McLean's Listener's Bible, I developed a new 90-day program. The MP3's are by chapter, so many of the breaks in my previous reading program would not work for listening. So, in case you're interested, here is the new deal:

Oh yeah! Breakout the protective eye wear. Onion paper slivers flying through the air can really lacerate. Finally, a project that feeds both my inner-theologian and inner-geek.
This is probably one of the most awesomely insane ideas ever.
You know what! That is a GREAT idea. I love it!
I am so glad you have brought this up. I found the same website and have made two of these Bibles now. I had always wanted to make one of these since I heard about Jonathan Edward's Bible that was like it.
I love the latest one, even though it is seven volumes! You can't take it everywhere with you, but you can at least take one volume at a time.
Actually I was able to take my Bible to Kinkos to have them cut off the binding for me. No sense in me losing fingers in the process.
I would encourage all of you who might be reading this to make one of your own.
