    No, I am not ting you.

    There's something undeniably creepy about big, expansive libraries. The hushed whispers, the almost artificial quiet, and the smell of dusty tomes combine to create a surreal experience. But when it comes to creepy libraries, Harvard University might take the cake... you see, three of its books are bound in human skin.

    A few years ago, three separate books were discovered in Harvard University's library that had particularly strange-looking leather covers. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the smooth binding was actually human flesh... in one case, skin harvested from a man who was flayed alive. Yep, definitely the creepiest library ever.

    A bit more on it, as I was not really going to take the first read through of some guys blog without some background:

    Just to beat those of you who will be thinking it...

    No wonder Jeffrey Dahmer used to call the library the snack bar.

    So if I wanted to read about the Washington Redskins chances are the book being red could have been made from a redskin?

    that skin was originally black which faded away through time imho. They treated negros like animals back then it ain't no surprise really, tbh.

    So when the librarian said "I got your back" she wasn't kidding.
