jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 04/14/2025 10:25 pm I was about to pass this and a whole lot of others like it over until I noticed the counterpunch. It is from 1951 so it is still the time of the Post WWII American Occupation of Japan. Could that have something to do with it? Report this Post to the Staff

In that sense, it's no different to finding a "7" punched into a Lincoln Cent. "Just someone fooling around with their number-punch kit" is the usual explanation. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
