"I felt like an actor in the movie National Treasure, but [actor] Nicolas Cage was nowhere to be found. However, what I found was a national treasure – the real national treasure."
-Researcher Lorianne Updike Toler proves that historians can be as vapid and mundane as the rest of us. Toler recently discovered an early draft of the United States Constitution written by Framer James Wilson. The draft, which had been misplaced amongst Wilson's papers, differs from the final Constitution as passed by including an article which calls for the will of the people to be constrained by a minority of 40 senators, particularly if any of them have posed naked in popular periodicals of the day. The document also follows the famous formation "We the people" with the lyrics to "We're Gonna Groove," previously thought to have been written by Ben E. King and James A. Bethea.

A lot of Nic Cage references today.
Balk must have walked past Madame Tussaud's today, where Cage's likeness has inexplicably been on permanent display in the front window.
Question. Is the Madame Tussaud's in NYC still playing Michael Jackson songs 24/7? Because the DC one sure as hell is.
I can't tell because of the Mary Poppins soundtrack blaring 24/7 in front of the New Amsterdam.
God I hate the "New 42nd St."
^ needs more cooching.
True...I seem to both cry and masturbate in ample quantity, it's synching them up where I fall short. AND NO, 'SHORT' IS NOT SOME KIND OF SUBLIMINAL CONFESSION ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY PENIS. Just wanted to make that clear.
Was it also signed by Silence Dogood?
Only the Ottendorf cipher solution will tell.
Um, how does one get to know Lorianne Updike Toler better?

I should hope that the first draft was written on a napkin or handkerchief at Ye Olde Pub with nothing but a quill and a bottle of ink. That's how I do my best writing--a flagon of ale, a goose's feather, a napkin and ink (actually, I use a Pilot-G2. Can you purchase a better pen? I think not).
Better than the Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V7?! This I will have to investigate. (Sidebar: But what's the deal with the Pilot Fineliner? That's like the worst pen ever. A rusty nail dipped in soya sauce would make a better line.)
It is, in fact, much better than the tecpoint V7. If i could describe it to you without too much hyperbole, I would say: it is as if God turned his dick into a writing utensil, and we are not worthy of its reliability to produce steady flows of ink, along with its exceptional comfort in one's hand.
There is no comparison. Writing with the G2 is like getting blown by one of the seven muses.
You guys better not be fucking with me, because I will be stopping by the stationers on the way home. (also, I realized this aft that there is something for which the Pilot Fineliner is very good, and that is chewing on. It is a very chewable pen)
Fuck you I am not.
Is this the version where black people are considered whole people, and women can vote and own property?
GLAD THAT GOT REVISED!
I felt like an actor in the movie the Fifth Element, but Milla Jovovich was nowhere to be found. Instead what I found was the real fifth element - boron.
