Looks like I’ll be a year short of getting a pension.
But the odds are that civilization will be destroyed by some religious fruitcake long before then. :evil:
Religious Fruitcakes are the leading cause of death in world history.
On the 19th November 1703 a prisoner, whose identity was hidden by a mask he wore, died in the Bastille in Paris. He had been a prisoner for 34 years. Before the Bastille, he had been sent to the prison at Pignerol by one of Louis XIV’s ministers, with the instructions: “It is of extreme importance that he be closely guarded and that he is unable to communicate by letter or any other means…He must be kept in a completely isolated place, so that his guards cannot hear him… And you will never listen to anything he wished to tell you.”
To this day, despite tens of suggested possibile candidates, all who have been refuted, we still are no nearer knowing who he was.
Definitely. You can see how easily it could be romanticised and turned into a film.
