Wattsarian

From the mind and cold black heart of Amy Watts, raconteur and librarian. Tweeting with librarian fez on at @wattsarian. Tweeting with fancy dress hat at @amywatts. --------------------------------- I'm also the primary poster for the Library Links tumblr, a mix of reblogs, original finds, and library cheerleading. ------------------------------- ALSO also, I've started the Beards of the NFL tumblr and "The Dog Stays in the Picture" tumblr (It's about art with dogs as supporting or featured subjects but not primary sole subject.)

And they had no idea what the Picklemen intended to do with their army of mechanical domestic servants. Last time all they’d done was have them sing ‘Rule Britannia!’ What was next? A ruthless bout of ballet?

Cheese triggers the same part of the brain as hard drugs

If you regularly find yourself hovering around the cheese board at the Christmas dinner table, helping yourself to seconds or thirds, there may be a scientific explanation as to why you’re unable to tear yourself away. Researchers from the University of Michigan have revealed that cheese contains a chemical found in addictive drugs.

This is why I am mostly amused at this point by those monthly articles about how dumb libraries are. You can rest assured that if you are in the habit of telling librarians that libraries are dying and nobody uses them anymore, every librarian you talk to is well-aware that you have not actually visited a library in several decades. We are only smiling politely and nodding because we feel sorry for you.
