  Oh, whee.  Another law.  How much good did that other law about killing
  people do?

   *&%^^#$%#$%

  BTW, folks:  The original posting to this list stated that someone had
  been killed by a crossbow.  This is *very* sloppy:  He wasn't killed *by*
  the crossbow, he was killed *with* it.  He was killed *by* the *other* guy.

  Thanks (he says as he puts his soapbox away...)
