The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant is an American documentary television series that aired on Discovery Fit & Health and TLC. The series debuted on May 26, 2009 on Discovery Fit & Health. Each episode features two or more women who were unaware that they were pregnant until they went into labor. Frequent reasons for the subjects not recognizing pregnancy include: Mistaking the symptoms for another condition or illness. Believing they were infertile, and thus not considering pregnancy a possible cause of symptoms. Not having any of the "traditional" symptoms (weight gain, extended abdomen, feeling of movement in stomach, morning sickness, unusual food cravings). Assuming their birth control methods were 100% effective. Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy being misinterpreted as a period. False negative pregnancy tests. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
