um, wellll, sort of. i am amazed at the number of teenagers and
adults i have seen this week purchasing halloween costumes.
perhaps this will be one of the choices of the first generation
of transhumans: do you want to be a child? teen? thirtysomething?
on an unrelated: we have heard the halloween horror stories of
razor blades in apples, poisoned or drugged candy, etc, which
have all the earmarks of urban legends. does anyone here know
of a proven case, that can be pinned to a name, a place, a time,
when poisoned/drugged/bladed treats were given to
children at halloween? a friend says a foaf knew of such a
case, but i now think it is 100% urban legend... spike
