Must actually be because the books I ran across earlier were "knitting and sewing" and filed with knitting around 746.432 and tailoring is at 646.2 -- why they are not next to each other, a mystery. #deweydecimal

Apparently it's scattered EVERYWHERE. #deweydecimal

Hmm, I should have looked at this book BEFORE sewing the purple jacket. Or maybe not, as I probably would have gotten bogged down in the "correct way to tailor a jacket" instead of just doing it. #sewing #tailoring

@ai6yr The guy who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for PCR insisted that AIDS wasn't caused by HIV, and thought astrology had been neglected as a field of scientific inquiry.

@fgbjr @ai6yr specializing to the point of blindness. Besides, wasn’t he the guy that realized PCR while on acid?

@Catawu @ai6yr According to his ghostwritten autobiography, he scribbled the predicted chemistry on the inside of a VW beetle while on a long drive with his girlfriend at the time. I think there's no mention of acid at that point, but while in grad school at Berkeley he took advantage of access to a mass spectrometer to formulate (and try out) compounds slightly different than (illegal) acid. Also, he once froze half his face with nitrous, oops.
