My dad's boss didn't like him wearing turtlenecks in 1990, so he stopped wearing turtlenecks. I'm amazed the principal didn't use firmer measures. Might have been one of those hippie progressives.

Due to a control tower error she was killed in an air crash in 1944. Her brother was killed a couple of days later in combat in France.
Her family had to fight to have her and her brother buried in a cemetery in Portland Oregon, because of restrictions on where Asians could be interred.

Does that mean we're impaired somehow? Our brains are so uncreative that they can't conceive of new people so they're just taking famous faces and sticking them on new bodies? Or is it better?

They're jodhpur, riding pants that keep things from getting hung up on your feet while letting you move easily at the hips. They were popular with early pilots who were often calvary men and became a fashion and were useful in early open cockpit planes.
