Maybe a subject for the soapbox, but why is everyone so oversensitive and politically correct these days? It was clearly meant in a non serious manner.

As you say, a matter for the SB... I've carried this on there...

I understand where you're coming from on this - but right now there's quite a resurgence in human trafficking and slavery in general - so it really doesn't play well.

Given that the slaves who built the pyramids have been dead for over 3,000 years, I can't say that it should bother anyone today, or their descendants.
(And no, the Israelites did not build the pyramids.)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

bit on the nose to me: I read it as buy this t-shirt and keep modern day slaves in labour.

Have you given up wearing T-shirts, button-down shirts (in fact most clothing)? Have you stopped buying other products made in third world countries?

It wasn't any tribe of Earthlings that built the pyramids, it was all done by space aliens. I learnt that from a documentary on The History Channel and then checked my facts by watching another one, so I'm 100% certain on this one.

Of course it was aliens, I can even cite an independent source: Chariots of the Gods? (Erich von Däniken)

2 for 2 does equal 100%. I believe you because the math checks out. 
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

That's fine. I prefer my steak medium or rare. But don't tell the cows, otherwise they will not let me fly anymore.

Bit of a long shot, but... Spell Checker ...? Could be a book to check spells, and certainly a spell checker would break if asked to look at any code block!

Not the answer but I quite like it!

MAGIC NUMBERS?

I thought of that too, but don't know any book with that (exact) title...?

The book is simply Numbers (4th book of the OT), Wizardry is magic so "book on wizardry" translates to Magic Numbers - something that none of us have ever used, I'm sure!
