On another note.. I just realized that I had a dream about it being the week of Xmas and I had done no prior shopping. I *just* realized that it was a dream.. about 3 hours later. I was still thinking it was Xmas time for some reason...

(click to show/hide)A story this good should be true. Alas, it's not. There never was a suicidal Ronald Opus, a feuding, shotgun-wielding older couple, or an increasingly confused medical examiner trying to get to the bottom of things. But there is some truth to it, for there is a Don Harper Mills, and he did tell this very story at a meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
Here's how Mills explained his involvement with the story in a 1997 interview:
--- Quote ---I made up the story in 1987 to present at the meeting, for entertainment and to illustrate how if you alter a few small facts you greatly alter the legal consequences. In 1994 someone copied it on to the Internet. I was told it had already garnered 200,000 enquiries on the Net. In the past two years I've had around 400 telephone calls about it - librarians, journalists, law students, even law professors wanting to incorporate it into text books.
--- End quote ---
It was hypothetical; just a story made up to illustrate a point.
