Have seen that before Vils, it's good, books can do that as well you don't need to climb all the time.

Books are indeed powerful weapons...look at Das Kapital and Mein Kampf for starters not to mention the Anarchist's Cookbook.....

The pen can be mightier than the sword.
Written words ... can make men weep ... laugh care march ... kill.
The past is no part of my future and the present is well out of hand.

Excellent visual metaphor there, in that image!
The word LIBRARY & the word for "book" in all latin-derived languages comes from the latin word LIBER which means "FREE" >> ''Free your mind'' !!!

Translation of the word BOOK >>

latin = libri
italian = libro
spanish = libro
portugese = livro
french = livre

All these words ultimately come from the latin word liber, which means "free"

I've also heard it said that books come in handy... to stabilise wobbly tables with, just
stick an old book underneath the table leg that's too short.



Of course you can go the whole hog & make the table legs entirely out of books >>

I hit this kid over the head with the Beano annual at infant school does that count?
