I'm thinking the Judge just didn't want to deal with of the lawsuit people and had them offed by some "friends of the court"


 ;D

Ask me about the legendary desert Bigfoot. A.K.A the Sandsquatch and his more elusive cousin, the Albino White Sands Dunefoot.

Ha, yes.  They must have come from quite a remote place to have dodged the flu.  Even isolated Eskimo settlements in the Arctic were wiped out during the pandemic.

German civilians waiting to be searched for firearms by Belgian soldiers before being allowed to pass over the Ober-Kassel-Dusseldorf bridge, 2 February 1919. (Bridge over the River Rhine from Ober-Kassel in the Belgian bridgehead to Dusseldorf in the neutral zone. Owing to the Spartacist rising in the latter, the Belgians permitted no one to pass.)

When Darling had lived his lonely life for more than a year, he took a wife, a comely young native girl. After four years of this life came the test of Darling's convictions. An uncle of his died and willed him a fortune of $500,000 under the conditions that he leave his island-wife, return to his native land, and live like a normal being. But Darling smiled a superior smile at the suggestion.
"Why," he explained, "what do I want with money?" "What could money procure me better than what I've got—happiness, health and peace of mind, from the knowledge of leading the life that I know God intended man to live?"
His inheritance went elsewhere. But the philosopher did not regret his decision. He was still happy as ever on the top of his mountain on the lovely tropical island, until influenza killed him, December 18, 1918. To the end the natives worshiped him, and the Frenchmen debated over him at their afternoon absinthe on the veranda of the Club des Etrangers in Papeete.

Your Honor,

After viewing the evidence, we find the defendant, Ernest Darling, Not Guilty by reason of insanity.

Haha.  Thank God that they found the fig leaf to be incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial.

I remember when I was a young lad that talking over the phone was something special. Almost magical. Now days I turn my cell phone off and leave it that way for days on end.


Do you remember the last time you wrote a letter? I do. It was years ago to a friend overseas. Nowadays we skype each other and make sure the video is on.


Hmm....now, if we only had those transporters.....
