Yet another award ...
Another unsolicited award has arrived in our e-mail box. Well, actually this is the first one that wasn't actually pleaded and begged for. Like most librarians, Biblia has become so used to grovelling for some recognition in her professional life, that this comes as a nice surprise ...

MORE ORIGINAL HUMOR
Laugh yourself comatose.
