Keith’s corner McGill Heathen Thinking is Dangerous

Last week’s Newsletter #252 about a unique bridge, started me thinking. That of course is dangerous, especially for someone raised in McGill.
With all the spying going on all around the world and one group copying another group etc. etc., I thought that Hollyweird might have had a spy here in the late 1940s. They certainly must have known about the many scientific breakthroughs and engineering feats accomplished by various McGill heathens over the years. For instance, the study of gravity. Our many experiments of jumping off garages with a pillow case or umbrella helped establish the scientific fact that all objects fall downward, not upward.
The frontiers of medical science were enhanced by our ability to withstand intense pain while testing products like Iodine, Mercurochrome and Merthiolate on our many scrapes and cuts we encountered while playing in the dirt and rocks every day.
It stands to reason that Hollyweird was interested. They stole a lot of the plots of our cowboys and Indians , cops and robbers and war games. Their biggest theft occurred when they spotted our bridge. It took them several years to do it, but eventually they made the blockbuster movie, “Bridge On The River Qwai”. Everyone can notice the similarities.
See, I told you, McGill heathen thinking is dangerous.
