We have a weakness for the ridiculous and bizarre. So we're finding ourselves quite taken with all these tales of law school library strangeness.

Here's an update on yesterday's item about the "attorney general of the United States," at the Emory Law School library:

The “attorney general” was a homeless guy that wandered around the whole law school. I was studying in the main common area when he asked me if there were any professors who would be interested in the “largest federal lawsuit ever filed." He also asked me to vouch for him if security came looking for him.

Apparently he had already done his shtick in the library and was chased out by the librarians. The library was locked, and students needed to swipe their ID card to get in, so a fellow student must have let him in.

I dispatched him to the floor that contained the faculty offices (and was nicely contained). Security was informed. He was discovered changing his clothes, then was escorted off the premises. Nice guy, just a little... err, very creepy.

We're glad Emory security can tell the difference between homeless people and law professors. Given the similarities -- disheveled, smelly, given to wearing ratty sports coats, talking to themselves -- it's only a matter of time before a mistake gets made.

(Oh, and speaking of homeless people...)
