Dang. 100 years.

That tops a library book story of a friend of mine who checked out a book and 3 years later, when he finished up his MBA and was packing things to move back east for a new job, he found the book amongst other books. He returned it to the branch from which he borrowed it and rather than charge him a fine, the librarian banned him for life.

Ok, not really. The librarian told him that she was appreciative that he returned the book, but didn't charge him any kind of fine. Something about amnesty.
