requiescat in pace

one hates to post bad news, but this _was_ a headline item in the most recent mini-AIR. (http://www.improbable.com/airchives/miniair/twenty-first-century/MINI2003-07.txt) (and of course, one presumes that _our_ napoleon will continue to flourish on the mental stage)

2003-07-12 The Sad Decline of Napoleon

The emperor Napoleon has fallen from favor. As a result, our NAPOLEON IN MIND research project is a complete failure. We had planned to compile a complete guide to all documented cases of people who believe themselves to be the emperor Napoleon. To that end, last month we invited medical professionals to send info about any such individuals of whom they have first-hand knowledge, or to send citations of published medical reports of such cases. We received nothing but shadowy, nth-hand pseudo-not-quite- memories. And so, Napoleon has left the mental stage; he has been exiled even from the kingdom of the schizophrenics.

Oh, like we can't respond to that....
Not that...with my actual background in Severe Mental Disorders, I ever came across someone who thought he/she was Napoleon...
But /surely/ Napoleon has something to say?

When I first tried to show her this thread, Vivtek was dead and acting up. Gave her link again and I think she missed it amidts a sea of babbling MUx text. I'll try again later and let you know what she thinks.

Good, good: hold it: aaand we got it.
I must say, that's an exceeding toothsome grin you got there!
Oh.
Waitaminute, we seem to have captureed Attila's most excellent visage for the scrapbook. Where's our Napenguin now? Are we even in the same ROOM?
:: Attila quite correctly points out that he's wearing a tweed coat, which nobody with half an eye would mistake for a tuxedo. ::
