"But upon an investigation by HUPD, it was revealed Monday morning that "our own library personnel" had accidentally spilled a bottle, containing what was reported to be urine, that had been found on the shelf, according to Hammonds. Harvard College Library plans to replace all 36 damaged books as soon as possible, she added."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yes every library that I have ever gone to always has a jar of urine by the books on the shelf. That is why it spilled on the books! Stupid library workers! When will they ever learn not to spill those jars of urine on the books?

*****barf*****

I had to scroll up to the top of the page to make sure it wasn’t the Onion.

Someone saving their urine? Is Howard Hughes working for the Harv. library?

Faculty of Arts and Sciences spokesman Jeff Neal wrote in an e-mail that it remains unclear why a bottle of urine was stowed in the library...
Where else are they going to "stow" it?

Actually, it was a bonus item that came with one of the books. Someone opened it and forgot to close it up again.

I guess I better add ≤}B^)

Now, urine on the 36 gay books wasn't a gay "hate" crime.

Must mean that it was gay urine and it got on the books as an act of gay self-expression.

Harvard. Where we’re so gay, even our books get golden showers.

How about it was a reported hate crime until the investigators uncovered it was a BS story. It was a fake. Then it becomes an “accident” and therefore not a story.

If someone looked into this a little more, they would find another lib trying to generate a fake “hate” crime.

What’s all the ruckus? Some sodomite just left his bottle of pee on the shelf while perusing the selection of “gay” literature. Understandable. /sarc

Does make this Dean look like something of an idiot. Maybe there should be a prohibition for filling a “false” hate crime report. Naw...don’t combat dumb laws with dumb laws. Plus, it would somehow be used against hetereosexuals.

This just shows that “hate crimes” legislation should be removed from the books. A crime is a crime....the motive doesn’t matter except as a mitigating circumstance...not something to make the crime more heinous. If you wrongly punch someone in the nose, it is assault and battery...it matters not if it was because you thought the person “queer” or just unlikeable. Assault and battery is a crime....leave it at that for the punishment. Now if you punched the dude for calling your wife a whore then there might be grounds for a lesser punishment or dismissal...a mitigating factor. I’m not sure that aggravating factors like “hate” should matter....now if the motive was robbery, that is an aggravating factor.
