First, forgive me G-d for using idolatrous imagery.

I can't help it. I'm a writer. Which is why I told Rabbi M. last night that I wanted Husband to come with me to fertility clinic because "this isn't the immaculate conception, you know."

Okay, so here's the statement that inspired me to blog. Apparently one can even purchase this statement on t-shirts and mugs. I love it. I think of it every time some idiot teacher disses me. (actually, I'm thinking of two or three particular teachers--most teachers at my school are not idiots).

So here it is, courtesy of Librarian Avengers:
Why you should fall to your knees and worship a librarian
Ok, sure. We've all got our little preconceived notions about who librarians are and what they do. Many people think of librarians as diminutive civil servants, scuttling about "Sssh-ing" people and stamping things. Well, think again buster.

Librarians have degrees. They go to graduate school for Information Science and become masters of data systems and human/computer interaction. Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear. They could catalog you.

Librarians wield unfathomable power. With a flip of the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines. They can find data for your term paper that you never knew existed. They may even point you toward new and appropriate subject headings. People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.
