At a library, Julian checks out 30 books at once, although neither he nor anyone he knows has the intention of reading them. What's going on? |

Relevant that there are 30 as opposed to say, 25? Do they share a similar quality? If so, content? author? height? weight? Did Julian intend to use them for something that one would not typically use books for? Such as propping open 30 doors? :-D Was Julian's main purpose to remove them from the library? For instance, to keep another person from checking them out? Did he intend to use them for decoration? Mythbusters relevant? |

Does he do it on a regular basis? Or he did it only once? Has he the intention of returning them? Relevant in which period of the year he performed this "operation"? |
