It's actually very clever. I didn't see it until just now.
I never know what the View Unread Posts link is going to bring me.

Okay, I admit: I don't get the joke.  Panthers' Newton suffers back fractures in crash.  Sounds pretty straightforward to me...  'Splain please?

I really don't give a fig about guerrillas.

It's not about the back fractures. Just Panthers' Newton:

Dayum, you people be old!

Dualstow:  Thanks, I thought it was pretty clever.  But I am easily amused.

MachineGhost: Right you are.  I became eligible to go on the dole and draw Social Security last month.  Truman was president when I was born.

Huey Newton was before my time, but I like history. I'm probably older than you, though, MG. I was 7 when I went to the theater to watch Star Wars with my family. I am about as old as Unix, or at least the name UNICS.

I got the headline but for the benefit of younger generations the photo below might help you recall your only

left ear.

But not old enough to remember the eunuchs, correct?

Teddy or Franklin?  Just kidding.  Truman for me too.  You just sound so  young at heart! 

I entered the world soon after Fat Man and Little Boy.

Good one.    I'd forgotten about Huey Newton and the Lewises.

That means you're just about tracking the UNIX epoch!
