Better Late Than Never

Think it's too late to turn in that overdue library book?  Learn from the example of Robert Nuranen, who checked out a copy of "The Prince of Egypt" for a ninth-grade homework assignment... back in the year 1960.

Nuranen, now a social studies and english teacher, decided to turn in the book last week along with 47 years' worth of late fees.  The total:  $171.32.

Although Nuranen did end up visiting Egypt as well as 54 other countries, he never did finish the book.
