I think he’s still sulking in his room because his Mum won’t let _him_ get a tattoo.

I was working in the Cleveland Public Library once, cataloging foreign languages and rare books. Over lunch in the cafeteria one of my fellow library school students told me she’d seen it cataloged in the rare book collection. It was entered as a local note in the catalog record that it was a Qur’an bound in pigskin. Obviously some Victorian bibliophiliac armchair crusader had decided that this would be a fun way to get back at Islam. :rolleyes:

Yeah, somehow I got the impression you being much harsher in your post than you were. I had infered you were attacking Case Sensetive. My apologies.

I think its more likely he was just clueless. Anyone apt to be bibliophiliac would be unlikely to be that petty. Never ascribe to malice that which could just as easily be stupidity.
