Revelations!
This is likely old news to more experienced librarians than I, but I learned something today which I found amusing. I was at the ref desk at Memorial when a student asked where he could find a Bible. He wasn't interested in the edition. MadCat revealed Bibles could be found under "BS." Could there have been an atheist at the library of congress with a sense of humor???

Wouldn't it be great if the Dewey number was 666 ;)
Looks like 666 is for "Ceramic and allied technologies". Maybe because you have to fire ceramic in a kiln, which is not unlike a small-scale model of one of the FLAMING PITS OF HELL!
I like the kiln analogy but I'm suprised 666 doesn't represent "other and comparative religions."
I freaking love classification humor!
Hey Deb...817!
Okay, that's not that funny. How about this: What's the Dewey Decimal Number for museum science?
069!
Which is doubly funny because, like, those girls in museum science are all like totally slutty. I mean, GAWD!
hA! 817! Love it!
