I'm with Biker Ray. Besides, how many times have you seen a driver zoooooooom up to the speed bump, practically stop to go over it, and then zooooooooom away again.
It's obvious you folks don't work in a library. :)
When people come to the library for books about pregnancy or careers or for their science papers, they need current material, not outdated stuff that may misinform them.
Sure, this book isn't likely to "mislead" anyone, but it's less funny when outdated science or population figures make it into a kid's paper.
Frankly, old pregnancy advice could be dangerous!
You average public library's mission is not to be a home for your poor, your tired, your ragged masses falling from their bindings, it is a place people go for information. Current information.
It's hardly "book burning" for heaven's sake! Exactly how long are libraries supposed to hang on to outdated material? 'Til we are buried under it?
Hey, I have one of these. Can anyone get me in touch with a Saudi? I mean, it's an heirloom and all left personally to me by my great-grandmother, but for $50,000...
"I can’t believe this is still an issue. I’m about to hit 30 and this has kept popping up in the “news” since I was at least 15. Aren’t people used to it by now."

I have three!
Children's Books Too Cool for School in which I review children's books.
Storytimeland where I review my weekly school-age storytime program, and...
B.A.B.A.E.L. where I, uh, do everything else, including the rare review of a "grown up" book.
However, there is a comics store very near my house who ALWAYS leaves their open sign on. 24/7/365. Drives me bonkers.
