OT - happy halloween

today, in prestopans, scotland, all accused witches and their cats who
were executed in the township in the 16th and 17th century -
approximately 81 people, no mention of the number of cats - will be
pardoned. the pardons are being granted under ancient feudal powers due
to be abolished within weeks. the ceremony will mark the inaugural
"witches' remembrance day".
