Looking through the binoculars, Samuel Malato could faintly see his own
brain. To his horror, there was a cockroach in the very center slowly eating its
way out.

There was only one thing to be done – he ran to his bathroom and grabbed a pair of tweezers which he pushed into his ear. Pain shot through his head, blood dripped from his earlobes, but he knew that he had to remove the cockroach at any cost. With a final shove he pushed the tweezers deep into his brain.

The entire community was stunned and appalled that such a wealthy, respected, and friendly man committed suicide with a pair of tweezers. It was beyond comprehension.

Lauren's dream had always been to visit the Library of Congress. She loved books – their appearance, their odor, their covers, the sounds of the pages turning. Of course Lauren had been to libraries before – she cherished the quiet atmosphere, the rows and columns of books, the veritable temples of human knowledge and imagination.

Then one day Lauren's dream became a reality, she finally got an opportunity to visit the Library of Congress – the largest library in the world. The tour guide led her into an 8'x8' prison cell. A laptop lay on a small desk in the center of the room.

“What is this!” Lauren exclaimed, appalled.

“Oh, you didn't hear?” the tour guide replied, “The library was renovated – this was deemed more efficient than the old system so the library was moved here – isn't it amazing?”

Lauren said nothing; she walked to the center of the cell, grabbed the computer, and smashed it on the floor.
