Me: Searching to remember who said an antelope is a document.
Google: Sound like you want to know about the world record for shooting an antelope.

There's a case in front of my office that has sat empty for months, so I invited everyone in the library to submit works of art and created a little gallery! I'm rather pleased with it:
