I asked the librarian for books on paranoia. She said "they're behind you."

For British readers, that joke also works for "pantomimes".

Oh no, it doesn't.​

Oh yes, it does.

This is a temporary walkway decoration for the local high school graduation ceremony next week. It leads from the courtyard into the auditorium where the ceremony will be held. I hope the HS science teacher did not help to design it...

Slaves, maybe?

Yes. A shameful part of US history overall. The 3/5 aspect specifically is in the US constitution Article I., section 2. For the purposes of representation, each non-free person (i.e., slaves) only counted as three fifth of a person. Indians (Native Americans) who weren't taxed didn't count at all.

This was later undone by the 13th and 14th amendments.
