“Lincoln Shot First”
And, in the same spirit, have JFK take a snapshot at Oswald from the limo and disarm + geld the intended assassin, by agency of a remarkably spalling bullet.

“Lincoln Shot First” And, in the same spirit, have JFK take a snapshot at Oswald from the limo and disarm + geld the intended assassin, by agency of a remarkably spalling bullet. (^^^) It was about 80 meters from the Texas School Depository to the limo. Kennedy would have to twist about 70 degrees; climb over Jackie and unlimber a carbine and shoot. Pistol shot is impossible. The limo travelled at a walking pace so it is possible to ignore the three body problem for the thought experiment. The target, Oswald, had constructed a shooting stand out of school books, to steady-rest his aim, since he was a lousy shot. He was also set back from the window far enough that he was not easily seen.  The windows are not small, but the need to bounce the climbing bullet through one *(6th floor), would present something of an interesting ballistics problem as it climbs up at approximately 40 degrees inclined to level. |

That is why I mentioned some crazy spalling; ricochet could also be acceptable. Bonus points if Kennedy makes the shot using either an M-16 or an AK-47. Triple bonus points for AI created pictures of the same  |

‘Ayatollah Khomeini Becomes A Jinn When He Dies’. And then an American television company makes a series based on his "jinn" character, called "Ayatollah You So." |

To the farter, those who smell them or both? I suppose in parts of the world with a high fibre diet you could see a drastic drop in populations and changes in diet.

Initially, I was thinking those who smell them. Now that I think about it, though, I guess ASB could "amend" things by making it conditional. So, if someone farts and there are other people who smell it, they all die, but if someone's alone when they fart, no one dies and they only have to wait for the smell to dissipate before returning to their everyday business. |

That would give everybody, especially in China a shock. Assuming in the present day rather than an earlier period when it had military significance.

Yeah, it happens in the present day. There goes a noted source of tourism revenue, I guess. |

‘Sharpshooters Suddenly Gain Laser Vision’. As long as we have a large pile of green rocks, it should be a manageable problem. |
