Bits of this and that

Some random goodies from LISNews:

A parent in Georgia wants all Harry Potter books removed from the Gwinnett County Public School system. Too bad she hasn't read any of them (they are "too long"). The Gwinnett Daily Post would like to "put a 'Silencio' (self-explanatory) curse on the whole thing."

While we agree the books seem to fly off the shelves as if they've been hit with an "Accio," we've not seen a report of a kid casting a "Densaugeo" (enlarges the teeth of the victim) on their little brother.

More about anthropodermic bibliopegy, the practice of binding books with human skin in this news story about an alleged thief of one such (very old) item.

Check out this cure for information overload. Sorta reminiscent of the world's best blonde joke.

I am inspired by the second-graders who replaced bloodied books in their school library. Apparently the intruder wasn't very graceful.
