In my Inbox Today

My 14 year old J-Teen received a reminder that his library books are due soon. I wonder what the FBI would make of this list. I can't be the only one who thinks this is an odd combo.

Due Within 5 Days (10)
Library User/Title/Due Date
J-Teen In search of Schrodinger's cat : quantum physics and reality / Mon, Dec 01
J-Teen Time travel in Einstein's universe : the physical possibilities of travel through time / Mon, Dec 01
J-Teen 145 things to be when you grow up / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen Calculus / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen Developing nations / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen Domestic wiretapping / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen Endless universe : beyond the Big Bang / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen Espionage and intelligence / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen Experiments in space science / Fri, Dec 05
J-Teen The wage gap / Fri, Dec 05


I love the expionage/wiretapping/time travel possiblities. But what's with the cat? And who is Schodinger? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yeah, I've limited my library check outs purely because I know the FBI would think I was nuts.

The ones about spy crap are my sisters. DEATH, mom. DEATH.

It would appear that the spy ones belong to C-Baby. Sure, J. We believe you. I'm sure the FBI will too.

That sounds like a good geek-list. And as a fellow geek who embraces my geekiness, I say, Go Geeks!

In J's defense, the Developing Nations, Domestic Wiretapping, Espionage and Intelligence, and The Wage Gap are all mine. They're all part of the Current Controversies series and looked interesting so I grabed the lot of them.

(I had left my library card at home that day.)

Fine, fine. Take the fun out of it, why don't you. I liked the idea of a time travel wage gap. Domestic wire tapping of Schrodinger's cat? The combinations really caught my imagination.

Read the article. wiretapping of schrodingers cat does not make sense.

Hmmm... an Ayers in the making? I am sure the FBI would be suspicious.
