That was a jump scare from experience for me.

Let's just say that a respected dictionary publisher's lineup for 2001 had 8 standard sized books - and one sized unlike any book published before or since. Thanks, Acrobat's "Fit to page" ...

There's still a 3+ block radius of Nope around Kennedy station because nobody (including Metrolinx) knows what Metrolinx is doing there.
