One wet afternoon 30 years ago, I measured the shelf space rapidly being 
taken up by Chemical Abstracts.  I discovered that it was expanding faster 
than exponentially!  (Solutions proposed included removing the first 50 
years to a store - I pointed out that it wasn't the first 50 years that were 
a problem, as something like the last 5 years occupied much the same space!)
