News for a Saturday. You could read it Monday, But Nobody'll Care.

Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey have seemingly removed all books on evolution and other subjects from their for sale list.  The group denies censorship claims, instead claiming copyright and the fact that the books all needed to be translated to "Gobblese," the official language of Turkey. *

A bunch of kids at the Charlotte Central School made some really poor sculptures of book related shit.  I am no art critic, but these kids better not throw away those Burger King applications just yet. **

Penguin books is producing an app of Anne Frank's diary.  I wonder if the digital book will have any hidden Easter eggs? ***

Michael Panzer has been selected to be the 10th Editor-In-Chief of the DDCS!  Panzer's first notion will be to bring back section 104, formally Philosophical Essays, as a new section: "104 - Bullshit Said In Barbershops."****

A new exhibit by the National Archives of Australia shows all the books Australia has banned over the years.  It also starts out with a comparison to the Nazis.  I am not joking. *****

*This sentence is to apologize for that "Turkey" joke.  I do not know what the hell I was thinking.

**Wow, I just read over this and that thing about the kids and the sculpture was pretty harsh.  Sorry about that, too.  Man, this no smoking thing has made me pretty mean.  

***I don't know what the hell that Anne Frank thing was about.  I admit I might be going to hell for that one.

****I'm standing by the Panzer joke.

***** Feeling better after that article compared Australia to Nazi Germany.

Dewy Decimal Tour: A Fun Way to Take the Job on Vacation

I'm on a boat!

Suzanne Hiott, a librarian in South Carolina, started a "Dewey Decimal Destinations Tour" to education others about her state.  The Tour compromises each of the 10 categories of the DDC, for instance "for the social science section, the Hiotts focused on a visit to the Charleston Harbor where 'tall ships from around the world were coming in,' Capers Hiott narrated" says this article from The Item.  The nearly 700 hundred photographs Hiott took on her trip have been placed on a DVD narrated by her husband.

I think this is an interesting way to take a vacation, albeit with more planning than I  generally put into my time off.  What dewey number would drunken blackouts be attributed to?  Not addiction, I can stop any time I want.
