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.)

Some people just don't have a sense of humor. :-(

Regardless -- CONGRATS on your article being run!
 
Thanks :-)

I'll admit after reading the talkback I felt sad for a second or two... then I remembered that if we weren't allowed to use the deceased as fodder, 90% of all "non-fictional" jokes couldn't be made.

If At First You Don’t Succeed
A gas station attendant in Euless, Texas, reported that a man stepped in and made a small purchase. When the clerk opened the cash register to get his change, the man squirted him in the face with pepper spray, grabbed $200 from the register, and then fled. The robber left behind a bit of a clue, however: he left his wallet on the counter. Police waited a few days and then called the wallet’s owner and told him someone had found it, and he could come by the police station to claim it. When Joseph Fahnbulleh, 22, arrived for his wallet, he was arrested. (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram) ...For assault, robbery, and driving without his license.
