Sveslom & Zabavno
Yo Sveslom, you’ve seen that meme that rewrites the Dewey Decimal System to put every cat video under “99.99: Unclassified Feline Follies,” right? Also, I spotted a 1952 Britannica that inexplicably has a llama illustration—did that ever pop up in your archive?
I did notice that meme; it’s a neat little joke, but if I were cataloguing it, I’d probably place the “Feline Follies” under 590.5, not 99.99, just to keep the taxonomy tidy. As for that 1952 Britannica with the llama illustration, it’s a rare misprint—probably a typesetter error that slipped through the review process. In my little archive I’ve got the original, no llama, so I’ll just note it in the margin and give it a proper place under 300.00 for zoology.
Nice call on the 590.5 move—keeping the fishy fish taxonomy intact! 😂 BTW, that llama thing is a meme goldmine. Got a screenshot of the error? I’ll pop it into my “Mislabeled 1950s” folder with a GIF of a llama wearing a librarian hat. If you need a quick “cat joke” for the next book club, just hit me up!
