PRESS

ALB-English Govt: Thanks for continuing playing the game. I look forward to seeing you in another game in which I am GMing or playing.

Austrian Govt: Esteemed Cousins, we have developed an interesting new system of calling letters by distinctive words for ensuring that precise instructions are not misinterpreted when spelling words out. I am sure we will have fewer unfortunate misunderstandings if we all try it; and less inaccurate artillery fire if I am wrong about the misunderstandings.

Con: - Darwin Award - April 2001, Tennessee - One day before the US tax filing deadline, a Memphis Darwin Award winner trying to beat a train drove around the crossing gates -- only to be struck by an oncoming vehicle whose driver had the same mad plan. The driver of the first vehicle was killed, making this monumental stupidity the first instance we have witnessed of a Darwin Award winner crashing into an Honorable Mention. The accident happened to one side of the tracks, so the train passed by unimpeded.

Spring 1908 deadline: 19:00 BST, 23rd June 2002.
