This forum is intended for comments on Straight Dope columns. I cannot find the relevant column to your posting. Please let me know to which column you are referring. If there is no column related to your question, I will move this thread to the [General Questions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=3) forum.

Unless you were making a sly reference to the column «[Does May Day actually commemorate the birth of the Illuminati? (04-Feb-1982)](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_043.html)»
