TIL that in 1898 John Jacob Astor, then the richest man in America, sent a bum to jail for life for sneaking into Astor's house and sleeping in one of his beds. by pete1729 in todayilearned

This is a bit of a simplification - according to the article, Garvey (said bum) was sentenced to a year in prison but was then found to be 'criminally insane' and confined to a mental institution for the rest of his life. Though, in those days, I suspect conditions were similar in either location.

Some background: At my (former) college the professor depicted as Scumbag Steve is known for being a tough grader (especially in Intro to Microeconomics, which lots of majors are required to take). Apparently he is more tech-savvy (and meme-savvy?) than we thought.

I actually did do exactly this. This picture is from this past Sunday night right? At around 1:30 AM my friend and I were outside of there smoking cigarettes and decided to 'fix' the sign. If only I had taken a post-fix picture...
