From My Library's Lost and Found Box

I hope people find this list as amusing as I do:

--a couple of notebooks
--a binder
--matted artwork (how students lose that an art school...ah forget it)
--a travel-size bottle of Chlorox bleach (WTF?)
--half of a stoen slab (--twice the WTF; found by me sitting in a chair; no clue what it came from)
--a cd case with fifty GOOD cds
--several power cords/AC adaptors
--goggles
--a sweatshirt
--a diary with a check for $300 in it (we actually went to the trouble of tracking that person down)
--a scarf
--two hats
--a bandanna
--those plastic drafting things architecture students have

Oh the randomness.

Below a report, copied from Whedonesque:

It's funny what makes the human race seem like a good thing at times.
