      - Mark Zuckerberg biographers will... but then, they would also pick up (download? mind meld?) a book -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 11:45

    - even then... - znufrii Feb 25, 11:37 2

    - No clue. They've been doing a lot of maintenance this week, though. - TWuG Feb 25, 11:37 3
      - Weird. It's back, but I have a scroll bar directly to the right of my log. That's new and... unpleasant. -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 11:39 2
        
        still messed up for me. Can't blow the Horn and it keeps treating me like a new player... -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 11:41 1

      - when does it become a threat to their own safety? -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 11:19 4
        
        It's actually pretty common. There's a whole dept. every morning where they're deciding whether to extend the involuntary commitments or extend them. -- nm - jnine Feb 25, 11:24 1
        
        or "let them out" -- nm - jnine Feb 25, 11:25

- There's a lot of weekend between now and Tuesday. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Feb 25, 10:59
- Someone should break it to him that just because he hasn't had his morning snort with a chaser of vodka and whore yet doesn't mean he's "clean" -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 10:59 1
  - nonono, don't misunderstand. the morning snort is what actually cleans me out. - Charlie Sheen Feb 25, 11:00

If I put up a sign over a section of books that says "Biography," do you think most will understand that that includes autobiography? -- nm - mara Feb 25, 10:55 29
- just call it the 'graphy section. -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 11:28
- Only for the morons. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 11:13
- I'd guess children would have a hard time, since I remember getting it drilled into me that they are different. -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 11:04 3
  - They should have been taught that autobiography is a subset of biography. Venn diagrams might have helped. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 11:16 2
    - You know you are going to place your sign based on how people think, not how you think they should think -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 11:40 1
      - Yeah, I just like bringing up Venn diagrams. :-) -- nm - mara Feb 25, 11:47
- I would keep walking if I were looking for an autobiography. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 25, 11:00 18
  - I agree with this. They're different entities and I would not expect them merged. -- nm - David Feb 25, 11:29 7
    - I agree too. "All biographies"? -- nm - Loyola Feb 25, 11:41
    - Just as an FYI, your expectation will probably not be met in your public library. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 11:34 4
      - Even so, you asked and there is the answer. -- nm - David Feb 25, 11:38 1
        
        Yes, and I'm grateful for the answer. The FYI was just an aside, which is why I prefaced it with FYI. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 11:44
      - people in Tennessee are just happy if their libraries have books -- nm - moles Feb 25, 11:38 1
        
        crazy thing is, they even have a few that don't have any pictures - just words -- nm - decline Feb 25, 11:40
    - libraryin is hard -- nm - moles Feb 25, 11:30
  - I think everyone else is right -- putting up signs causes as much confusion as it prevents. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 11:03 9
    - Or, put up two. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 25, 11:05 6
      - I probably gave you the wrong impression when I said "a sign." It's a very large section, it would take a number of signs. If they don't all say the - mara Feb 25, 11:15 5
        
        Auto/Biography -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 25, 11:16 4

        Books on cars?? -- nm - mara Feb 25, 11:17
    - I think it will be fine with no sign. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 11:04 1
      - Just one big one on the door. "BOOKS" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 25, 11:37
- Where do you keep the autobiographies? -- nm - Pedant Feb 25, 10:57 1
  - And memoirs! (Taxonomy sucks!) -- nm - mara Feb 25, 10:58
- there's a difference? -- nm - most people Feb 25, 10:57
