239th post

You probably don't remember, but I like to write as well as draw. (Said the guy typing up his blog's 239th post in less than 3 years.) The ISS already ran a two-part article I wrote back in last April, and now the Darth Obvius pseudonym has resurfaced with what was originally titled "6 Scientists Who Were Batpoop Insane". The end result was edited slightly after a complaint by one of the subjects' descendants/relatives. Lady, I'm sorry, but if you think I meant to personally insult anybody on the list you are mistaken. I'd hoped that my obvious tongue-in-cheek style would lessen the sting. (Also, I blame conveniently wrong sources. So nyah.)

White was wearing her seatbelt and suffered only minor injuries. She was issued a traffic citation with a total of $361 in fines, and allowed to go home. Lahori, who left behind a 3-year-old son, sold cell phones for a living. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) ...Always get the optional hands-free kit.
