Thing 12 8/16/07 Rollyo

Wow!

I always thought there should be something like this out there. I particularly liked the Rare Books Search roll, although they didn't have many of the titles I wanted, I'm sure if I had more time to explore, I could find some decent out of print books for sale somewhere. Not that I have the money to actually buy them or anything.

In the "Free Photos" roll, it wouldn't search the phrase "civil war plantation family", so I shortened it to "civil war", and it still didn't come up with anything. When I did one phrase "Heathers" (as in the early 90s movie) it didn't bring up anything either. I wonder if it's just a bug with that particular one or not.

The Quotes roll was great, although gramatically incorrect: "quotes" is an adverb of the verb "to quote"--therefore, there is no such thing as "a quote"; rather, the term is "quotation". I found a bunch of quotations by Aleister Crowley immediately, so I think there's probably some bug with the "Free Photos" roll itself. The quotations by R. A. Wilson always put me in a good mood. I'll probably be using that one a lot.
