Discussions on odd collections launched me into a vectored train of
thought.   Macaulay's _Motel of the Mysteries_ is a few years old, but
still a highly entertaining read. Although not really an oddity, per se,
but a humorous look at how we curators can sometimes guess wrong and
unwittingly place objects completely out of context.  I'd recommend it for
any museum library.  Sometimes it's good to laugh at ourselves.  It keeps
us humble and sane.
