Jogger accidentally crosses US border from Canada and is held for two weeks https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/22/jogger-detained-us-border-cedella-roman-immigration-ordeal I contest - there was no gravity at all.

monckton★★★☆☆ (436)	Ok, re-thinking this. Yes there was 'gravity' in the eye of the beholder. But we all know how many trains that waved off, though people argue to this day.

monckton★★★☆☆ (436)	Oh I know that, the request for definitions was a nod to our resident word buff. I think the point I'm trying to make can be best summed up as "...really?" It's a commentary on rising authoritarianism, you really should nip it in the bud. Maybe too big a topic to bring up in a little place like this though. Got any more climate change jokes?
