C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley also died on Nov. 23, 1963. Coincidence? Ha! Wake up, sheeple! Regards, Shodan ---

Bah, JFK was shot three years before I was born. Nobody remembers my ancestor, William McKinley, being assassinated. ---

> [@Mister\_Rik](#): > > Nobody remembers my ancestor, William McKinley, being assassinated. I remember that like it was yesterday! Mark Hanna was SO pissed off; now that young lunatic Roosevelt had taken his puppet’s chair in the White House, and all HELL was going to break loose. Turn off the lights, America, and give the country back to the Injuns! ---
