What is Mens et Manus?

Library story - This link (now at archive.org) used to be good, until the MIT library apparently took Philip Greenspun's sarcastic advice (older version now at archive) seriously:
"Final Tip
Reorganize your file system after you're listed in all the Web directories, after folks at other sites have linked to articles on your server, and after search engines have discovered your sites. That way users will be sure to get "404 Not Found" messages after finding your site in Yahoo or WebCrawler."
The Library story can currently be found here (now at archive) and here (from archive.org, for another one broken, as of 8/10/2002 or earlier)
Museum story
Short story
Long story - which is notably the only one of these links not broken one of the last couple links broken since first linked in May '01 (as of August '04), except for Greenspun's, which was revised from the original without breaking.

Quote of the moment
"I only wanted to see what the garden was like, your Majesty---" "That's right," said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alice didn't like at all: "though, when you say `garden'---_I've_ seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness." Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: "---and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill---" "When you say `hill,'" the Queen interrupted, "_I_ could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley." "No, I shouldn't," said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: "a hill _can't_ be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense---" The Red Queen shook her head. "You may call it `nonsense' if you like," she said, "but _I've_ heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"
