    No idea if this is true or not, but if so...cool!

    The Canadian Passport under UV light reveals its secret watermark.

        Wonder if there are cool features that would be revealed on currency bills under UV light, too.

                The Women’s Christian Temperance Union, to which we owe the failed experiment of prohibition, still exists. It claimed 5k members in 2012, down from 350k a century earlier.

                On the website it tells you how you join. You print out the temperance pledge, and mail it to Evanston IL along with $20.

                https://www.wctu.org/

                Only non-witches get due process.

                  It was a source of never-ending mockery when I went to college there.

                      I have learned that Madeleine Albright wrote a book with a mildly interesting title: Hell And Other Destinations.

                                      No. Plaque is on your teeth. There might be a coprolite in a while though.
