AI Thread Summary
During a field trip to the local police station, Larry's class viewed a bulletin board featuring the 10 most wanted criminals. A student inquired if one of the photos was indeed of a wanted individual, to which a policeman confirmed it was. Larry humorously questioned why the police didn't apprehend the suspect when they took the photo. This sparked a nostalgic reflection on childhood curiosity, recalling a similar humorous debate about the Unknown Soldier and the perceived absurdity of not knowing his name before burial. The discussion highlights the innocence and humor in children's perspectives on serious topics like crime and memorials.

Larry's class were on a field trip to their local police station where they saw
pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals.

One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it
really was the photo of a wanted person.

'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him.

Larry asked,
"Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture ? "

I remember, as a kid, arguing about The Unknown Soldier, the national memorial. "Hey People! Why didn't you just find out this fellow's name before you buried him? Ya look pretty darn silly now, don't ya?"

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
