These are separated by only one thread. It’s sad, but I can’t help but be struck by the unintentional humor: \*\*The Berkeley Naked Guy’s Obit I am so dead…\*\* ---

This amused me… \*\*Sinking the Oriskany \*\* \*\*A funny cat story \*\* Sounds like some crazy cartoon where a cat chasing a mouse sets off an incredibly crazy set of events, ending in ultimately in the sinking of an entire battleship.
