Wh…wh…what???? *aneurysm*

I know you aren’t a Ranganathan fan and I admit I’ve never used his Colon Classification nor do I feel any need to even attempt to use it (if I lived in India or regularly worked with Librarians there that would be a different story) but his five laws?  I have secretly dreamed of getting some or all tattooed on my body.  (Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t - but how cool would it be to have “the library is a growing organism” on my hip?)
