Trump finally told the truth about Renee Good. She wasn’t murdered because Jonathan Ross feared for his life. She was shot because she was “highly disrespectful.” This is a symptom of the same virus driving Elon Musk—the brittle supremacy of weak men. www.mind-war.com/p/highly-dis...

Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
I haven’t had time to write this up properly, but it’s the 31st anniversary today of the bank robberies which gave the world the Dunning-Kruger effect, when two men concealed their identities by the brilliant method of smearing their faces with lemon juice. Anyway, here’s a press cutting:
The Invisible man
At 5 feet 6 inches and about 270 pounds, McArthur Wheeler is an easily recognizable even when wearing lemon juice on man his face.
That certainly came as a surprise to Wheeler, 45, of Versailles Street, McKeesport. He was incredulous in April when Pittsburgh robbery detectives told him that he had been identified in surveillance photographs as one of the two men who robbed two banks in Brighton Heights and Swissvale on Jan. 6.
"But I wore the lemon juice. I wore the lemon juice," a puzzled Wheeler told the even more puzzled detectives.
The detectives' confusion turned to incredulity as Wheeler explained about his would-be lemon aid.
"Someone told him that if you put lemon juice on your face it makes you invisible tothe surveillance camera," recounted a still chuckling Cmdr. Ronald Freeman of the investigations branch. "He was skeptical at first but not so much as to not try it him-self."
"He said the lemon juice was burning his face and his eyes, and he was having trouble [seeing] and had to squint," said Sgt. Wally Long of the robbery squad.
But the pain was worth the pleasure Wheeler felt when he snapped a Polaroid picture of himself and he wasn't anywhere to be seen..
"When the Polaroid didn't show him, he thought it worked," Long said.
All that detectives could figure was that either the film was bad, Wheeler hadn't ad-justed the camera correctly or he had point-ed the camera away from his face when he snapped the photo.
"In any event, he went off and robbed the banks with lemon juice on his face," Free-man said. "He was shocked when we showed him the surveillance pictures."
Detectives had been tipped to his where-abouts in Lincoln-Lemington by informants who recognized him in one of the surveillance photos taken during the robberies. The photo had been telecast during the Pittsburgh Crime Stoppers Inc. segment of the 11 o'clock news April 19. Less than anhour after the broadcast, he was arrested at 202 S. Fairmont St.
Wheeler was convicted in federal court in the Swissvale holdup. Charges in the Brighton Heights case were dropped.

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!

Remember to stock up on lemons today for your New Year Lemon Pig-making needs! 🍋
Image depicts the following, which is the text transcription. It's very cute! "Lemon Piglet (11) For good luck in the New Year, a lemon piglet is a must! Insert four toothpicks into a lemon for legs. Slit pointed end for mouth to hold shiny penny, and two cuts for the ears. Eyes are cloves.  Crush and curl foil for silly tail."

After an exhibition of John Nash's work in 1922, a critic wrote: 'A painting by John Nash is like a sentence spoken by a gentleman, perfectly enunciated, quiet, complete, yet with a certain reserve about it as of things left unsaid.'

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth
Daily Mirror front page shows grainy image of horde of children in a cemetery, and the headline “Amazing scene as hundreds of children rush cemetery”
