OK Now this is just strange. Yesterday the Gay Community was up in arms about several text books that talk about “Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered issues” were “Vandalized” with urine. Well maybe not…
A mysteriously misplaced bottle of urine and a clumsy staffer — not a hate-filled vandal — were the culprits behind the destruction of three dozen Harvard library books related to gay and lesbian studies, the university said yesterday.
“We have learned this morning that the books, while indeed damaged, were damaged by our own library personnel spilling a bottle of what was reported to be urine that had been left on the shelf,” Harvard College Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds said in a statement. “I believe this is an important new fact in the investigation.”
WTF? OK I gotta ask our resident Librarian How exactly does a library employee end up down in the basement of the library with a bottle of urine? Stranger yet, said employee has a bottle of urine in such a condition that it can be spilled by “Clumsy Action”…
Huh??
Rule 1 of Library Club: Don’t talk about Library Club.
Rule 2 of Library Club: Don’t talk about Library Club.
Rule 3 of Library Club: What happens in the stacks stays in the stacks.
Rule 4: See rules 1 and 2.
Yep.
Umm, why was a librarian carrying around a bottle of urine at all? Gross.
There must be some weird stuff going on between the stacks that Breda isn’t telling us about.

my gut says *somebody* was either supplying for an upcoming drug test, or had acquired a supply for their own upcoming drug test.
That would make the most sense.
Could have been a lab thing too. I anilized a sample of my urine for a bio lab once.
They drug test librarians now? Geez!
But yes, you’re probably right. Pee swap!
Um. Ewwwwwwwwwww. And yet, what a nice ending to the tale 🙂
Ummm, did you ever think the staffer was studying for his/her final in his correspondence watersports course?
