Guest ratchethack Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 It's about time y'got the full acclaim we all know y'er due, Pete... I can see why you'd wanna change y'er name. "Sly Roper" just doesn't sound right... But how'd y'ever convince the Medical Examiner you'd assumed room temperature?
todd haven Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 From the article: "Roper reached the age of 73 in 1896. That June he showed up at a bicycle track near Harvard with a modified motorcycle. They clocked him at a remarkable forty miles an hour. Then the machine wobbled, and Roper fell off. He was dead when they found him. The autopsy showed he'd died, not from the fall, but of a heart attack." That we should all meet such an end.

belfastguzzi Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 As if his Alien Report isn't fame enough :!: Hang on. Maybe that's how they invented the motoscikle! Alien technology? Roper - Rossi: same difference, same ancestory obviously. So after sending The Bike, they've now sent A Rider? What can it all mean?
