I weirdly really want a whole-body MRI given how many incidental findings my other scans have turned up. What other weird things are going on in there??

Yep. I mean, I do read a lot at work...as do most people who work in offices. Mostly it's email. And I read *bits* of books, but not like they're picturing.

(That is, there are definitely spiders because spiders live everywhere, but it sounds like you're not going to get many more spiders on you than you would harvesting anything else.)

I think key elements that help for me are "regular person confronting abominations with a sort of wry resignation" and "this is horrifying but I also want to poke it with a stick and then take careful notes".

I don't normally do horror and I *love* T Kingfisher horror novels. But I'm a random stranger on the internet so I don't know if that's a useful data point...

The cover was produced by a Swedish sheet metal company that, at least today, primarily manufactures metal for beer cans.

This came up to cataloging because the label fell off, and my though process was basically, "oo, textured metallic cover, how pretty...wait, is this actually metal? Aluminum? Wait, it seems too heavy for that ::grabs magnet:: ok no this thing is solid steel."

The only problem with it is that, weirdly enough, it is really quite heavy for its size. On the bright side, you can use it as an improvised weapon!

Yes! I'm planning a trip to that area and kept looking up things going "oo, might see that...no, the really spicy scorpions aren't in that area...aw, shit, I am 100% going to fall in a jumping cholla"

I grew potatoes for the first time in an outdoor container garden. I grew a small handful of tiny, adorable potatoes over an entire summer. It was fun, and I learned things, but if I were expecting that to be a major part of my diet I would be sad.

Yes, but if your SNAP benefits are going away in November, you're not going to get anything except a few sprouts by the time you *have no money for food*. And corn doesn't exactly grow well in an apartment window box.

Yes! You could get some sprouts in a few days, which will help if your problem is scurvy. This is not people's problem.

I strongly recommend reading the last page or so, where they conclude with rhetoric after laying out all the evidence. Not that I *wasn't* expecting something impressive, but...damn.

At least, I'm about 90% sure she was a typist -- there three men listed as authors, and then five women's name together lower down on the title page with no explanation. I'm assuming they're typists. Maybe room #41 was the typists' office?
