Yes, Mel Brooks is a comedy genius. Haven't seen an uncensored version of "Blazing Saddles" on tv for 15 years.

 Then again, do remember that this year’s Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act increased the minimum term for various serious sexual assaults to four years, and the maximum term for assaulting a statue to 10 years.

Related, "Heritage Crimes (England)": here's a sentencing guide.
Brainteaser: if someone blows up Stonehenge, based upon the above guide, what's the sentence possibility?

The FSU has just been kicked off PayPal. How tone deaf is that?! How long before they reverse this, and what will be their explanation?

Did they pay their bills on time?
BTW Paypal is expensive.

Why not use IBAN European payment. Piece of cake.
