Charmin











So I went to the British Library, and it's really cool that they have all those old documents and stuff. A score from the original performance of Handel's Messiah, pages from Leonardo DaVinci's personal notebook, the original Alice in Wonderland with illustrations by Lewis Carroll, handwritten Beatles songs. But I have to say, the librarians are pulling our collective leg with the Magna Carta. It's probably just a piece of thirteenth century toilet paper that someone dropped on their way to a rebel baron meeting.
