Title: The Bible is BS, according to the Library of Congress
Post by: Atheon on August 20, 2014, 02:24:12 PM
According to the Library of Congress classification outline for call numbers starting with "B" (encompassing philosophy, psychology, and religion), the Bible has its own specific code.

That code is "BS"!!

I have to think that this isn't just coincidence.  I'll bet some devilish librarian came up with that as a  impish joke.  And no one has noticed it until now.

I have a cousin who's a librarian.  He's definitely not the stereotypical bookish nerd.  I could see someone doing this.
