VK; those clamps take up way too much space! Several books could fit in
    there.


SamuraiCat [email]  4 Apr. 11:15, from: 82.1.178.213, green

its not as good as huffman encoding


VK [email] [home]  4 Apr. 11:28, from: 85.230.79.34, burgundy

llizard >> You compress the books, squeeze them halfway into the book-
case, remove clamp and push them into place properly.

... and then they explode straight into your face.


llurker [email] [home]  4 Apr. 11:30, from: 216.154.20.210, marine

VK; then you can't get them out of the bookcase.

    Some examples of advice in the article:
    "Use a stepladder to put up decorations - not a swivel chair,"
    "Don't hang the tinsel on computers or other sources of heat"
    "Party balloons can kill: [...] latex allergy"
    "And over 1,000 people were injured by Christmas trees in 2002,"
    "move computers out of range of spillages; and avoid indoor fireworks,"
