Hey, you think YOU'RE having a slow day...

At least you aren't this guy.

(Thanks to the Library of Congress for that one.)

What the heck is that thing?

Why, Nate! Everyone knows that a misnice, a Croatian goatskin bagpipe!

Add that one to the list of future referrer log oddities. I would ask what drove you to look for bagpipe-playing croatians, but I don't think my fragile health can take the answer.

Geez, at least the scots have the decency to cover their bladders in plaid before filling them with air.

Actually, it's a very simple answer--it was the second item on the LoC American Memory "Today in History" item for the 15th. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Like plaid to a bladder.

I guess I'm not the only sick archivist around. I at least had the decency to keep my germs at home.

Well, germs like to get out, just like anyone else. So it's nice to bring them to the office and let them meet everyone.
