A304228 Insanity and the Law

A confession: It was I who updated this page. I changed the spelling of an ALT-text.

The reason: When, in the course of preparing the h2g2 Post, it becomes necessary for me to illustrate copy that arrives un-illustrated, I sometimes turn to the Edited Guide. To find relevant pictures, I look up related topics.

On this particular occasion, I was trying to illustrate a piece by Paigetheoracle. So I looked up 'insanity', for reasons which will be obvious to all Post readers.

I've borrowed the lovely picture of Pigeon Man on the witness stand. It is eminently suitable for the copy.

However, some doofus had misspelled 'straitjacket'. With a 'gh'. Ugh. I couldn't restrain myself. I changed it. It was an Editorial reflex.
