: : : PS Bwa ha ha ha ha!
: : Tell me ... what do you do with witches?
: : You burn them!
: : And what do you burn, apart from witches?
: : ...Wood?
: : Precisely. So why do witches burn?
: : Because... they're made of wood?
: : And how can we tell if he is made of wood?
: : If... he floats!
: : And tell me, what also floats on water?
: : A duck!
: : Exactly. So logically, if he weighs the same as a duck, then he's made of wood.
: : And therefore a witch!

: : P.S. This is meant to be a joke, by partly making fun of how stupid lawyers are (especially our nemesis, Christopher Daniels). All of these lines were (somewhat) taken from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so I bear no copyright whatsoever. Blah, blah, blah...the post is done, so why are you still reading this far?

: Hey Bud. This post will have nothing to do with our good buddy Christopher, but rather local history. In the town across the river from me (that town being Norfolk) there's a street called Witchduck Road. That's because back in the 1600s, the town elders used to take accused witches to the creek that ran along the road and "duck" them with a kick-ass ducking machine. Just thought you'd be interested in boring old history junk.
