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!)
