I have in my possesion a library book. I didn't check it out, and I'm not completely sure who did, but I have it. I probably should return it, but it's over 30 years overdue, and the overdue fees would be more than the book is worth, so I haven't.
I guess I'm just not as honest as Robert Nuranen, who just returned a book due on June 2nd, 1960, and paid all $171.32 of the overdue fees: "I figured I'd better get it in before we waited another 10 years," he said after turning it in Friday with the $171.32 check. "Fifty-seven years would be embarrassing."

Robert, I take my hat off to you.
