        Cataloging shipping containers seems like something Dr Sheldon Cooper would do as a hobby, hence the Big Bang Theory reference

        I just love that somebody's into that, that we humans are so wonderfully diverse.

        Wish we had more people searching for possible contraband within those #shipping containers like #ivory & #endangeredspecies, timber #iwt

        With good reason. Like Train/Plane/Ship-Spotting, you're either into it, or you're not.
