I think they had something called liberries. I think that's how you spell it.

Whoa. Amazing thinking about how those ancient people even survived...

You ever worry what people will infer if they check your internet history? *grins*

From this I would say that you are going on the run, from the Kenyan national security intelligence service because you nicked a pachyderm, which has grave importance in african mythology, and you had trouble getting it through us customs and border protection, which sucks after booking a hotel in nyc already, so you have dressed yourself desingerly in the hopes of drawing attention away from said pachyderm and are praying to get into oslo. I don't think you'll have much luck avouding surveillance with the pachyderm though, sorry.

OMG laughing so hard right now...

Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure I'm on an FBI/CIA watchlist by now *waves to fascist overlords*

:D

My course is on Risk and Security, so lots of hilarity about that kind of thing. One PhD student had a visit from some plain clothes police - well, they said they were police - about her movements, took her details, questioned her a lot - and she went to her supervisor all 'um, what the hell and help?' They think she's researching something that she isn't actually interested in, but is a kind of sideline to her research, bless. I love my course.

Ooof, not so funny for her, but still made me chuckle :)

Let's hope Big Brother isn't watching. They'll think you're *Snape voice* UP TO SOMETHING.

Bwahaha.
