Captain ILL prides himself on being a complete idiot, so he's a big fan of the "For Dummies" and "Complete Idiot's Guide" series. Aside from the crime reports, he doesn't usually pay too much attention to the news so he's a bit puzzled by the large numbers of books about money, investing, and economics that are coming through the ILL department these days. Perhaps he should check with Bowlingwidow, his economics adviser, to see if anything important is going on in the world...

Just curious...how do the female readers of this blog feel about the title of this ILL?
BowlingWidow remembers only one thing from her college economics classes: There is no such thing as a free lunch (but there often are free goodies in the staff room).
I never took any economics classes, but I learned the same thing from reading science fiction novels instead of the physics textbooks I was supposed to be reading. They use the acronym "Tanstaafl" (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch), but I think it means the same thing, even if it's not quite as grammatically correct.
