793.8 - Oz of gel Brian uses in a month?I think you are way under ... that is closer to his weekly usage.

Actually, gel goes a long way ... but "do we" really need that much?

Here is a hint, magic geeks + books.

Sadly this reference is or soon will be completely out dated.

I'm too stubborn to look it up. I now think it's the location of Brian's book in the library if you used the Dewey Decimal system.

(Teacher, what's a do-me decibel system?)

I made a mental note to do a quick google search when he mentioned it. But I didn't do it until after I read this thread. Had murph not mentioned the DD I would have thought it was a veiled reference to healthcare. (forgetting of course, that this episode was probably filmed MONTHS ago, before the debate even began I bet)

Still, Kudos go to shwood for giving me a reason to head down to the library!

You guys dont know where all the slight of hand illusions are in your local library.

Next time you are in your library ... check out 793.8 and see some of the beginners tricks of slight of hand ....

And Brian ... cause I know do I get a free book to add to my library ??

You're not too subtle, I'm just THAT dense. Sometimes I just need things spelled out for me. Especially when it comes to libraries. Everytime I go I have to check the chart that explains the system so I can find what I need.

Everytime I go I have to check the chart that explains the system so I can find what I need.It only occurred to me because I have just moved and was putting books on a shelf in my office. My wife (who is a Prof at a school of Information and Library Science) joked I should be filing them according to the Dewey Index.
