In the Library...
Student requested an "Iraqi Bible."
--What, the Bible translated into Arabic?
--No...Uhhh, I'm not sure how to explain it...

I gave her the call number of our reference copy. Later I asked if the book was what she was looking for. Yes, she said, but if so she must have had only a ready reference question, because she left a couple of minutes later.
The Boss gave Old Curmudgeon a warning; he'll be banned if he continues to curse obscenities at the computer. He has absolutely no patience with Yahoo! Mail.
We've also permanently banned someone for looking at pornographic hair fetish videos online. In reviewing his network password request form our IT Man noticed that his home address is the same as Old Curmudgeon's. Hmm...
Link Dump!

Shame on me for not having heard of the "Scanner Darkly" adaptation. I'll have to check out the IMDB entry. Of course I didn't even bother seeing "Paycheck," it looked so cheap, so perhaps I shouldn't get excited about this one.
