One of my pet theories is that most professions require extremely specialized knowledge – heart surgeon, carpenter, PhD researcher, appliance repair person.

Friday Fun Link – The Literature Clock

This site is pretty cool – it tells you the time by showing a quote from a book that happens to reference whatever time it is at the moment…
