Skyrim Patch v1.4 on the way!
From the Bethesda Blog, the first patch for Skyrim is almost here! Among a long list of fixes, the new patch includes the irritating mannequin glitch, the crazy glitch where you take off like a rocket after getting killed by a Giant, as well as what appears to be the quirky/annoying bookshelves that will let you put books on them, but then never take them off.
