In "Bjork at 40"

Still, I would rather someone bore me by trying hard to different than bored by someone trying hard to sound the same. well said, bernockle

In "Teletext porn"

Technologically speaking, the next step down from this is where you enter '5318008' into your calculator and then turn it upside-down... i think you skipped a step... ascii porn *then* 5318008! yet my nascent libido had a veritable field day with the psychedelic visual non sequiturs the encoded video provided. ah yes, scrambled soft core porn. desperately willing the couples to go just a *little* further, the screen to stay still for just a *second* longer... those were the days!

In "Curious George: Which new language"

Portuguese* argh.

Portugese. Truthfully, I hadn't ever thought much about Portugese until I heard it spoken (just recently). I was literally mesmerized. It's an incredibly beautiful language.

In "The Toymaker"

In "A Day In the Life of Miss McDonald."

the pictures aren't loading for me, either, and based on the reactions, i would really like to see them!

In "Curious, George: "

Thanks for the incredibly non-snarky advice js, it's especially helpful because I work in a library. And yes, as others have noted, most librarians can't magically find a book based on descriptions such as, "uh, i think it had dragons in it?" Unfortunately, a lot of people, yourself seemingly included js, are under the impression that librarians must know EVERY single book in the library. Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is just not so. Perhaps you should actually visit a library before lecturing others on the proper use of said institutions. cobaltnine, that is exactly what I was looking for! thank you so much! I knew that such a place had to exist. And to stray and fatoudust, if I can't find a book any other way, i'll definitely post about it here, i just don't want to overrun mofi with book questions. thanks!
