Interlibrary Loan of the day


Captain ILL often cooperates closely with the Coast Guard when some aquatic supervillain needs to feel the boot of justice. In fact, a certain Lt. Commander Stocklin who has assisted the Captain from time to time has recently been notified of his impending promotion to full Commander. Congratulations! If memory serves, soon-to-be-commander Stocklin carries a book like the Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment by Water in his car. Captain ILL remembers long ago while on a dangerous mission in the mountains, then lieutenant Stocklin spotted a train tanker car full of possibly hazardous material and was able to look it up in this handy book he kept in his glove compartment. This obviously impressed the Captain since you never know when you might need to know the fire & explosion hazard data for valeraldehyde.
