A true Stumper

After four hours of canvassing (and in some tough areas – really odd how you get brilliant patches that sociologically you’d think wouldn’t be, and vice a versa) it may be my sense of humour has become a bit warped, but I nearly spat my gado-gado all over the screen with laughter just now when I read an email from the Stumpers List.

This is a list primarily for the queries that have librarians stumped, and an internet veteran. I used to subscribe in Bangkok some nine years ago. It doesn’t have the enormous volume it used to have – a side-effect, I suspect of Google – but still comes up with some doozies, like this one:

Now I know I have a highly educated readershup: any answers? (Preferably supported by references…)
