It took me a moment to get that. At first I thought perhaps he had modded your 65-year old message post as 'Old'

sythe said @ 4:51pm GMT on 28th Apr
Yeah, so it goes.

Whoa, I'm posting on a repost that's going to be changed to something else...

I feel like I'm on an episode of Sliders or something...

now I want to hide creepy messages in random locations

Oh, man.

I hope they publish the contents of the messages.

Of course, maybe that would be in bad taste and they should be given to the families if they're still around.

I heard this story on french radio : there where names of persons written on the message.

One name is a french guy and he is still alive.

My brother works in a metal shop at a roofing company. Somewhere on the inside of someone's metal flashing is an illustration of a demon jerking off drawn by my brother. Well, to be precise, the unfortunately posed demon was drawn by him, the other details were added by his assistant.

Hopefully this Auschwitz message turns out to be a little more sophisticated.

names and numbers:

The message, written in pencil and dated 9 September 1944, bears names, camp numbers and home towns of seven young inmates from Poland and France.

is that the noise your fart makes when you try to hold it in during a meeting but it forces its way out anyway?

I had a friend who bought a new Caddy. Because he drove with his music blasting he didn't hear the little noise. Eventually though his wife pointed out that there was slight occasional rattling noise. He couldn't find it nor could the mechanic at the dealership. He didn't hear it all the time so let it go. Every so often the sound would return and would drive him to despair. Eventually a friend helped him out and they determined the noise came from the passenger side door. His friend a mechanic took the door apart and they found two nuts hanging from a part of the door's insides by a string. Not enough to be really obvious, just annoying, sometimes. A note tied on the string said. "I hope this drives you crazy you rich bastard".

Why were they demolishing the wall of a place that I would presume to be a heritage site?

It's time to put this incident behind us and move on.

leswilkerson said @ 4:32am GMT on 29th Apr
Aaaaaand... We can't do that AND maintain the sites a.) out of respect for the deceased, and b.) so that future generations have a physical, visceral reminder of the mistakes of our forebears?

I think most of the survivors want them pulled down, if that makes any difference. Plus, they take a lot of money to keep up, and the bodies that own them are super poor. /hazy memories of a article i once read
