What did you miss? Nothing much. The CIA merged with Google and the advertising code embedded in many web pages just got a lot more interesting. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been declared Duke and Duchess of Toronto; Casa Loma will be the ducal residence. US currency has fine print in Russian as well as Chinese now. Donald Trump made it into the history books again. A Dopefest had to be called off at the last minute because of ‘drone interference’. A meteorite impact has been proven to have ended the 14th Dynasty in Egypt. Also, I now have blue hair. ---

The board acts up all wonky sometimes, people are annoying, folks get honked off over the smallest most trivial things -------- in other words you didn’t miss much and should readjust quickly. 😉 ---

Some obscure real estate developer from New York got elected president, thereby unifying the Boards to an unprecedented degree. Plus lots of kitty pix, of course. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-whatd-i-miss/846877.md?page=2)
