The Liminal Librarian

I cracked my toe pretty good in the middle of the night and now it's bruised, swollen, & painful. Trying to decide if I should call the doctor, I found some fun Yahoo! Answers results. My favorite answer to "how can you tell if your toe is broken?"

"Um, an x-ray, moron."

Yeah, a librarian could probably do better than that -- or at least skip the "moron" part. Although, there is my second favorite:

"if it is black and blue i broke my toe and my father said it was broken but not all the time mean the if it's black and blue all the time but if u put ur finger right were it hurts o n ur toe and feel a space and get bend it and the other one can't."

I'll shut up about QuestionPoint now. (Hmm, maybe the toe thing is bad karma?)
