Coronavirus US: People try microwaving library books amid virus fears:
A US library took to Facebook to share their outrage over people's latest attempts to disinfect public property, like library books.
"Noooooooo!!!!!! Oh no no no," Tampa Bay Library Consortium captioned a picture of a book badly burnt after borrowers tried microwaving it to kill germs.
The book was loaned out from Temple Terrace Public Library in Florida, where staff assured everyone that books were disinfected safely before being loaned out again.
"Temple Terrace and all Hillsborough County Library Cooperative libraries quarantine all materials for 72 hours after they are returned. Please do NOT attempt to microwave library materials as the RFID tags, located inside, will catch fire. Stay safe out there," they shared on Facebook.
It comes after news stories in the US that claimed people could sanitise library books by placing them in the microwave.

To the tune & rhythm of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Mash [wikipedia.org]
I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He had corona, he had coronavirus
He had corona, he got it in his iris
He had corona, he'd have to stay inside yes
He had corona, he had coronavirus
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a injections from WHO
They had corona, they had coronavirus
They had corona, it was a graveyard smash
They had corona, it gets caught in a flash
They had corona, they had coronavirus
awwww ooooooooooo

Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one
When you gonna give me some phlegm, corona
Ooh, you make my sinus run, my sinus run
Got it coming off o' the heinie, corona
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty bug
I always get it up, for the touch of the chinese kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my corona
Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
Close enough to catch my bug, corona
Keeping it a mystery, it gets to me
Running down the length of my lungs, corona
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty lung
I always get it up, for the touch of the chinese kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my corona
M-m-m-my corona
When you gonna give to me, a gift to me
Is it just a matter of time, corona?
Is it d-d-death, d-death
Or is it just a game…

Nice! The Monster Mash is great and there's also the album The Original Monster Mash. Even though the other tracks are a bit samey, I like the weirdness and the fact they're less well known so not getting played hundreds of times every Hallowe'en.
If a cat has kittens, does a rat have rittens, a bat bittens and a mat mittens?
