Defenestration is so last month....

[Waltzing]

For the rest of us OMP just Toasted it at the top table...

"Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618 which became the spark that started the Thirty Years' War."

or other reported incidences... date 1419 for all you history mad denizen's.

Moral of the story ; History repeats itself...   And the forefathers keep repeating "everything changes and everything stays the same".

"Prague's storied history of defenestration continued into the modern age as well. After the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia on February 25, 1948, Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk decided to stay at his post at the request of President Beneš. On the morning of March 10, 1948, Masaryk was found lying dead on the pavement below the bathroom window of his residency at the Foreign Ministry. Although the death was initially ruled a suicide, there were suspicions that Masaryk had been defenestrated by communist agents. The investigation into his death was reopened numerous times over the course of multiple decades, and a 2004 police report ruled that at least one other person had been involved in his death. However, the case was reopened in 2019 and closed two years later after concluding that the involvement of additional people in his death could neither be confirmed nor denied due to a lack of evidence. At least for now, Masaryk's death remains the mysterious final chapter in Prague's history of defenestration."

Looks like Moscow is the new capital...

The more it changes, the more its the same ...  plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose..

The kangas have spied kwilander gaming teams dressed in black rehearsing new stratgies causing the  kangas to sound the alarm bells!
