I LOVE old book collectors
they send chain emails like

"Dear Mssrs Snootwangler & Berk
Having now seen it for a 17th time, I feel I ought to write to let you know that the figure in #91 of your catalogue is not the Many Eared Christ but is in fact Our Lady of Ten Thousand Lobes-
and because no-one knows how Reply All works I get to watch tiny little wars develop over whether or not the Many Eared Christ was even PRESENT in italy at that point in time, artistically speaking
people join in to fire off pictures of stained glass windows in which Our Lady of Ten Thousand Lobes *might* be present if you squint

someone chimes in with "Yes but I'll think you'll find it's actually Saint Johepzibah of the Auditory Ambrosia" and chaos breaks out
savage things are said
colleagues are called in from their collections
friendships are dashed
pictures of ears are circulated in painstaking resolution

and when the dust settles the same catalogue is sent around an 18th time with no amendments made

never change, y'all
