[cut to the stacks in the library, as a man throws a hand grenade down the hallway (which "explodes" in a cheesy bit of special effects)]

TERRORIST: Dammit, woman!

From drakearnold.com:

This video is kind of silly because of the way it came into creation... I had commuinty service at the library and was lucky enough to be able to make some videos for part of my community service hours. It was made as a submission to a contest which my sweet librarian overlord recommended to me. As such, there were stipulations to the video, such as, I had to use their logo and slogan. Anyways, it's kind of stupid but it amuses me atleast.
